I used Italian diced tomatoes and that added a lot of flavor that many people said was missing. Very good.

Obviously you have to be a person who really, really likes fresh basil to like this recipe and my family aren't those kind of people. My daughter spit it back out and I had to make her a sandwich instead and she eats pretty much anything. I will NOT be making this recipe again.

My husband and I both enjoyed this pasta dish. It's very quick and easy to make, a great choice for a busy weeknight.

This dish was really good and easy to make. However, I did add spinach and bacon and used Delmonte diced tomatoes instead of a fresh one.

I loved how easy it was to make, but it was rather tasteless.

Something didn't mesh right- it doesn't have a robust flavor- good for a hot summer day. Probably better cold. Yes, better as more of a noodle salad.

Was sort of bland. The only flavor it had was an overwhelming basil flavor.

This was very fast and convenient. I added a clove of garlic, and two tablespoons of low fat Caeser dressing. I thought it was okay but my daughter the picky eater scraped her plate.

I found this recipe to be very bland when made the suggested way. I ended up adding crushed garlic and red pepper and that added some flavor to the dish. Appearance-wise, it left something to be desired, if you are a person who also takes the presentation of food into account when you eat. I don't think that I will be making this one again.
