Hubby and I really enjoyed this dish!! I am not quite sure if it came out exactly the way it was supposed to because in step #5 it said to add the broth....."lemon juice"....BUT there was no mention of lemon juice in the ingredients, only lemon pepper seasoning. I emprovised and used a couple of tablespoons of lemon juice. I didn't have any peas on hand either...but used a frozen "baby asparagus/carrots" blend and it turned out WONDERFUL!! Leftovers were yummy for lunch the next day too!! :)

Made this as a side dish. Was very good.

My family gobbled this up - no leftovers! I added more chicken broth and more lemon juice than the recipe called for, plus added Lemon and Herb Seasoning that I have. The creamy sauce clings to the pasta nicely. Really delicious - thanks!

This has made it to our regular monthly menu. Very good and different for us. I have substituted the peas and carrots for broccoli, and I add a lot more lemon pepper. I'll probably continue to play with it. Thank you for the recipe.

This was delicious. The only change I made was to use a little extra chicken broth. Can't wait to eat the leftovers! Yummy
