    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 5 stars       04/26/2014   I really liked this pasta. I love lemon with my pasta. I loved the take on this new kind of "pesto". But I can't say that everyone in my household loved it. My father said it was way too bitter and he didn't like it. I guess it depends on your taste buds because I would definitely make it again.

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       02/27/2010   I like to add fresh snow peas with the pasta instead of frozen peas - and only for about the last 30 seconds of cooking. And instead of 1 1/2 tsp salt, try about 1/2 tsp salt and a handful of fresh mint leaves.
