  1. Eve, this was very good!! The only change I made was to leave out the fresh basil leaves, couldn't find any, I did add a sprinkle of dried basil. I cut the recipe in half except for the garlic and spinach,left them as is, and used penne pasta. Thanks for sharing a good one!
     
  2. I really enjoyed this recipe. I had most of the ingredients on hand, however the only substitution i made was to use Italian parsley instead of basil and used whole wheat linguini. I look forward to using this recipe again, Evie! Thanks so much for sharing it!
     
  3. I like making this too but not always with the tomatoes and sun-dried tomatoes. It's good either way but it depends on what I have in the kitchen. Shitakes are a little more flavorful if you can get them. The kind of pasta you use is also changeable. I usually use linguine or fettucine.
     
  4. I have to admit I made changes due to what I had available. I used canned mushrooms and a can of diced tomatoes (drained). I tore some fresh basil and added it for flavor (I imagine the sun-dried tomatoes would add more flavor). I used angel hair pasta and it was absolutely fabulous!! Thanks for the springboard--I know the actual recipe is fantastic based on my not-so-fresh version!
     
  5. very good, very simple and easy recipe. Made as directed except I had no cherry tomatoes. Wonderful light dinner. Thank you!!
