This recipe was a most pleasant surprise. It sounded like it would be tasty but the flavor and smooth texture was beyond what I had expected. Thats especially true when you consider the extreme ease of preparation and the short time it takes (although 10 mins was a bit optimistic it took me about 25 but I like pasta well cooked). I cooked some shrimp separately and added them to the finished pasta that was a marvelous pairing. Made for PAC, Spring 2012
