This was an absolute delight. I used lemon pepper linguine and was liberal with the lemon juice because I love lemon. I think I *might* have over done it with the parsley too but it sure was a good dinner. There was no cheese on mine just to keep from adding more calories, lol. I enjoyed every fork wrapped mouthful. Lazy, your recipes are treasures and I don't think that I have ever tried one that I didn't love.

Oh, yummy! This was so good! We loved it! My little girl inhaled this pasta and my DH also had a hard time not eating the whole bowl. I had to take the bowl away from the table! Thanks, lazyme! Made for alphabet chefs.

Excellent! We really liked this. I made the sauce just as written and it was terrrific. Cooked my usual little bit of pasta, dribbled some olive oil over, plated it and added the sauce. Very nice garnished with parsley and served with a salad. Yumm, BB
