This was very tasty, I added some asparagus and pine nuts to it...I served it with scallops #55680 -
This is a very nice recipe. Easy to make and with common ingredients. I made it as stated, but added additional parmesan at the table. This is now in my favorites cookbook and will be a staple in the future. Thank you very much for sharing it. -
Great recipe, great ingredients, which left me little scope to meddle as I usually do. The only changes I made were to double the garlic (for the sworn garlic lovers who were to be eating this), to add a minced onion in step 2, and to add a cupful of chopped baby spinach leaves, in step six. I squeezed the juice from the tomato, so that it was only the fleshy part of the tomato that went into the pan. Just love angel hair pasta; being so fine it seems to beautifully capture every bit of flavour. And, of course, we loved the wine, lemon juice and basil. There was nothing not to love about this wonderfully flavoursome recipe: a truly heavenly dish for earth angels! Thanks for sharing it, lazyme. -
I loved this recipe! It was different from the pastas I normally cook, lighter, great for summer, with a great taste! I was looking for an alternative to alfredo that wasn't so heavy and this was it! I added a little bell pepper and green onion as well and it worked great. Thanks for the recipe!

Great tasty side dish!! Used spaghettini (as I didn't have angel hair pasta). Also used red wine instead of white - turned out very good - probably much better with white!! Used a lot of parmesan cheese and pepper. Thanks lazyme! :)
