Made this recipe as given (except that I doubled the garlic!), but another time I'd take another reviewer's tip & add some chicken & a veggie for a main course! It did, however, make a great side for the baked chicken breasts we had with it this 1st time around! We really enjoyed the sauce here! Thanks for sharing!

This is one of my favorite pasta dishes, it was very tasty and easy to make (my family doesnt like spicy food, I omitted the pepper flakes) I did add extra parmesan cheese though. I served this to 10 people as a side dish and there were no leftovers. Thank you so much!!!

This was easy and yummy to boot! I especially liked how quickly it came together; great for a weeknight. I did make some mini-meatballs to go with mine, for DH; the taste is terrific! I may try fresh basil next time; I did add a bit of grated parmesan on top also - Thanks for sharing, Lainey!

Thank you Lainey for a great side dish to my BBQ. I might haved added a bit too much redpepper flakes as DS said..."boy that's spicy". I did omit the chicken broth and just upped the amount of water by another two T's. It's so rich and yummy and just a great all around comfort type side dish that went together in no time~ Made for PhotoTag.
