Pasta with Bacon, Shredded Brussels Sprouts, and Lemon Zest

I liked the recipe, but it wasn't a wow for me. It's a great portion size, and it's got lots of flavor. It still seemed to be missing something, and I just can't put my finger on what.

I've made this several times now...and have added my own twist. SHRIMP!! Extra lemon juice and zest (or less...depending on your own taste) and 15 to 20 shrimp cut into pieces...man o man is it delicious!! I've also served it over spaghetti/linguini/and egg noodles...any of the 3 are great in there! Also it was good chilled. It's become a fast favorite...especially since I discovered already shredded sprouts (I'm lazy LOL).

We loved this recipe but will cut down a bit on the lemon in the future.  It was fairly easy to make and tated delicious.  We will definitely make this again -- maybe even for company.

We added shredded pecorino romano, which was a nice addition.

Very light taste.  I liked it but my husband and daughter said there was too much lemon in it.  I will make it again and next time cut down the lemon a little bit. 

I used dried lemon zest and small shells for this dish, but otherwise I followed the recipe.  The dish was okay the first night I served it, but, when I reheated the leftovers, it had an unpleasant bitter taste.

Light and super..

might make a good side dish - like tastier recipes - easy - probably won't make again

My favorite kind of weeknight meal - quick, doesn't make too many dirty dishes, and gets the kids to eat their veggies. It wasn't a combination that I would have thought of, but it works great. I'm adding this to my standard rotation.

Made this as directed. It was simple, yet balanced and tasty.
