  1. This is a great Rachael Ray recipe. All in my family thought it was delicious. I only used 1/2 lb. penne because I wanted more sauce than pasta. The flavors are well balanced with a lovely lemony note. Very doable for a busy weeknight dinner. Thanks, KC Cooker.
     
  2. I used most of a rotisserie chicken and added snap peas and sliced green pepper. Absolutely delicious.

  3. This is a quick and delicious dinner for a summer night. Very nice with added green veggie like fresh green beans. Will definitely make this again.
     
  4. This was totally delicious! I replaced white whine with apple cider vinegar and it stillturned out fine. Actually I left out the lemon, it was strong from the cider already, and after letting it simmer for a couple minutes the intensity of the cider was suffeciently reduced. The whole family loved, thanks for sharing!
     
  5. This was very lemony, I served this alongside Chicken Scalloppine, it was just okay.

  1. This was delicious! Well...I did make some changes to suit what I had on hand. I used an onion instead of the shallots and more chicken broth instead of the white wine. I also left out the capers, since I don't care for them, But still it was delicious! I can't wait to try it with the wine and shallots...yummy!
     
  2. What a great dish!! My DH and I both went back for seconds. I did substitute apple juice for the white wine, as I did not have any on hand. Other than that, I followed the recipe as written. Thanks for posting, we will be enjoying this one again!
