This was a good recipe that we'll probably make again. Our oysters were pretty large, so the amount seemed out of proportion with the pasta. I think next time I'll cut the oysters in half or use less pasta. I was concerned that the oysters gave off too much liquid as they cooked, but stirred the pasta in the oyster mixture, and that coated the pasta with oyster flavor. I'll probably make a few changes, but I will make this recipe again.
Oysters over Angel Hair
Randy Mayor; Lydia DeGaris-Pursell
It may seem an unusual combination, but the green onions, garlic, and Parmesan cheese go beautifully with the oysters in this delicate pasta dish. It received raves in our Test Kitchens.
