  1. Refreshing, light pasta dish! Used 3 garlic cloves instead of garlic paste, and omitted the salt. I felt it was salty enough with the prosciutto. Next time I would add more sun-dried tomatoes and maybe a touch more lemon. Thanks for posting! Made for PRMR.
     
  2. This was a good pasta. I played with the portions a bit, decreasing the oil, prosciutto, salt, spinach and nuts, so it only fed 3 for us. I also took another reviewer's advice and doubled the sun dried tomatoes. I used Recipe #239502 so the prosciutto would be really crispy. Thanks!
     
  3. We really enjoyed this! Very easy to prepare after a busy day at work. Wonderful flavor. I accidentally forgot to add the tomatoes and I did not have pine nuts, but other than that followed recipe. You need to use good quality ingredients to ensure maximum flavor. I used the zest and juice of one lemon, extra virgin olive oil, rigatoni pasta, and freshly grated parmesan. We will defintely be making again! Thank you for the recipe. Made for PRMR tag.
     
  4. I seldom give a recipe one star, but this just didn't do it for us. I was looking forward to this recipe, we love all of the incorporated ingredients, but together they failed to surprise. I hate to be the sore thumb on this one!
     
  5. Good concept, but both my husband and I found it to be highly under-seasoned. I only used a half pound of linguine; I can't imagine how bland it would have tasted if I had used the whole pound called for in the recipe.

  2. I couldn't resist making this when I saw the beautiful photo on the home page. I was not disappointed. We LOVED this! It goes into my keeper file. It was so easy, too. I wish I had made more. Everything was perfect. Not too much or too little of anything. I used onions instead of shallots and skipped the sun dried tomatoes because I didn't have any. I'll try them next time... and there will be a next time.
     
  3. Great dish! I loved everything about it! I used 2 cloves of garlic instead of garlic paste. The lemon in this really gives it a zing. My family is not big fans of sun-dried tomatoes but the addition of them in this recipe is fantastic. Love the spinach. I followed the recipe as written and would not change a thing. Thanks Lainey!
