I made this last night and it was totally tasteless and even a little on the sour side... I pitched this recipe.
I really like the recipe. Very easy. I didn't have canned tomatoes, so I just used tomato sauce. I also used squash and zucchini instead of asparagus.
I added mushrooms to the recipe and used more oregano and cooked the whole dish more than what it said. The food came out pretty good! I will sure cook it again when I have guests!
I used more pasta, parmesan, and onion than the recipe called for. Also I added some fresh basil & oregano, and drained the tomatoes. It was delicious
I liked it.....but I wanted to LOVE it. I was hoping for a "keeper".....but it fell short.
Quick, easy and tasted great! I used 7 grain fusilli instead of penne and a little white wine to deglaze the pan before adding the tomatoes. My husband and brother loved it and a bottle of aged Shiraz went well with it.
This was super easy and so full of flavor! I made it for company and it has a beautiful presentation! It's a keeper!
I made the recipe according to the directions. I ended up adding more red pepper and some garlic salt. I would probably add some fresh herbs next time to give it more flavor. My Fiance like it and asked me to make it again also. I do like that it is simple, quick, and very light in calories.
Because I had many ingredients that I needed to use up, I used this recipe as a guide instead of following it exactly. I used cubed chicken instead of shrimp, and sliced mushrooms and zucchini instead of the asparagus. Because I needed to use up 3 tomaotes that I had in the freezer, I diced them up and then added a small can of tomatoe sauce. I used 4 cloves garlic, 1 jalapeno, and doubled the amount of other spices, since I didn't use prepared canned tomatoes. The result was great! It was spicy and flavorfull, just as I love, and eating it with homemade bread was a winner. This recipe is simple, yet extremely satisfying!! A great meal for a weeknight or for guests.
Good, not great. I will make it again, but next time will add more garlic and crushed pepper. I made it for company and everyone claimed to like it, but I was a bit disappointed. That said, the kids ate it well ... with more pepper, they might not, but it would be more flavorful for sure.
Light but filling, inSANEly quick to make, very easy, and I had all ingredients except for the asparagus on hand. The parmesan adds a create comfort foody touch, do not leave that out. Didn't change anything, it was absolutely perfect and healthy. Will make again for sure! :D Bon appetit!
I also make this even easier. All the same ingredients except the sauce. I use Shrimp Scampi sauce I buy in the fish dept at my local store. Very good and already has the garlic and spices. Try it this way too.
So fast and delicious. We all enjoyed it. I also added a half yellow pepper, diced and a fresh plum tomato, diced for more vegetable.
The sauce is reminiscent of a arrabbiata sauce with just enough "punch" not to overwhelm the shrimp. My husband loved it! - and I did as well. We will have it often, alone or with guests. I used rigatoni. Since the shrimp I had was cocktail size (not medium) and it was recommended to cook no longer than 2-3 minutes, I added it at the last step.
