an easy, fresh pasta that is delicious and impressive made with few ingredients. light and tangy tasting, a sure crowd pleaser and faster than 'fast food'! the key is to use fresh ingredients for best flavour, dried herbs won't do!
💬 Reviews (I make a variation of this recipe using a whole wheat tortilla but I use the same ingredients & I agree, it's delicious!! Way tastier than fast food & much healthier, too. I mix up fat free mayo, low carb ketchup & mustard to top the meat & don't use any onions or cheese. I also spread some worchestershire on the patty as it cooks which makes it taste more like a hamburger. Wonderful & easy! Thank u for sharing.)

starting with fresh tomatoes keeps the sodium levels low in this recipe. recipe is from family circle.
💬 Reviews (Awesome dish! I made sure to switch the measurements for lemon juice and wine, which worked out perfectly. I juiced one lemon without measuring and it was plenty. I also used Lucky Duck Savignon Blanc for the wine. I'm not super knowledgeable about wine so I didn't quite know what kind of white wine I should be buying. I may try something different next time. All together the sauce was spot on, making this a much cheaper alternative to my favorite dish...of course the chicken can't compare since I don't have a wood fired grill. But still great!)

i found this on how stuff works and it is by the editors of easy home cooking magazine. they have a winning recipe, and i just want to share it with you on their behalf... do not leave out the capers, and do use the kalamata olives( i could only find calamata ones...it is a wonderful recipe with a very unique, pleasing flavor. again, altho i wish this were my own recipe, i give full credit to the editors of easy home cooking magazine for a delightful new twist on spaghetti that i think you will thoroughly enjoy.
💬 Reviews (Wow, this was so tasty! I switched the measurements for wine and lemon juice as suggested by others. I followed the recipe as best I could (for example, its snowing outside so I pan fried and then broiled the chicken instead of grilling). I would not say it tasted exactly like my favorite dish at Carrabas, but it actually tasted better some how! I would also caution that 4 tablespoons of basil is a bit too much, better to go with 2. I was looking forward to the leftovers but there weren't any!)

i crave this dish in the summertime when i can go outside and pick tomatoes right off the vine. it is good anytime of year, though.
💬 Reviews (This was OK. I used 4 TB of lemon juice and I feel that the 4 oz of goat cheese was way too much for the serving amount. In all fairness, it was my first time trying goat cheese and it was a bit too tangy for me. Hubby loved this dish though.)

a nice summer time pasta meal that is very easy to make. best made with tomatoes fresh from the garden.
💬 Reviews (I did not add the butter at all and used 1 lemon worth of juice (not 1/2 cup) The sun dried tomato, lemon and goat cheese really made the dishpop. This was easy enough for a weeknight but seems more like dinner for a special night)
