This made a nice meatless dinner. I only added about half of the lemon juice that the recipe called for and next time I will probably omit it all together--just a personal preference. The walnuts were a great addition. Thanks for the recipe!

This was a GREAT pasta side dish. Will probably taste great with some marinated chicken & broccoli (left it out). I used about 2 cups leftover elbow macaroni (I think about 2 oz uncooked), and greatly cut the sauce-and still found it to be very flavorful. I used 3/4 tsp light butter, 3/4 tsp olive oil, 1/8 tsp basil, 1/8 tsp lemon juice, 1/16 tsp seas salt, 1/4 tsp garlic powder & then 1 1/2 tsp parm cheese. Whew! It was a great compliment to the chicken parmesan-hubby ate it up! Will try whole wheat pasta next time.

This was a very flavorful pasta. I made it without the broccoli and walnuts last week and I will make it tonight WITH the broccoli as a side to chicken! We did both love it and I added about 1/2 cup parmesan when tossing. The "parmesan" part of the pasta was left out of the ingredients in the recipe... just the title! :)

I enjoyed this. My husband, "loved it"! I used butter (about 6 tbs) instead of margarine and I used a pound of pasta. It had nice flavor and it was something different. It's a great meatless dish-perfect with a tossed salad. I threw half a bag of frozen broccoli into my boiling noodles just for the last few minutes. I thought it was kind of funny that it's called 'Garlic Parmesan Pasta' but there is no parmesan cheese in it! So, I added some. My husband asked if we could add this to the rotation! Thanks!

The flavours in this are excellent! I served this with Pineapple, Mandarin, Ginger Chicken (recipe#114591) to my parents tonight and everybody loved it. My 3 year old son repeatedly said "it tastes good" while devouring it and everybody had seconds.
