I really enjoyed this dish, but was unsure whether the author intended to include red wine or red wine vinegar. It was a little too tangy with the vinegar, but then I did cut the oil in half without cutting down on the vinegar. Because this was fine with half the oil, I might try using half wine and half vinegar next time. - 22 Nov 2011 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
I use this basic recipe, but I have put a twist on it. I use the pasta, the toasted pine nuts, then add sauted veggies (I like snow peas, orange and yellow peppers, zucchini, asperagus, and mushrooms). Blend all together with olive oil and/or pesto. Add Asiago and/or Parmesan cheese and have a feast! If I want to use this as a main course I often add pre-cooked shrimp or chicken. - 11 Apr 2009 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
Great recipe. Made it with angel hair pasta. Used both chorizo and regular sausage as well as some mushrooms, but kept everything else the same. Made it for my family as well as on a beach vacation. Everyone loved it. - 19 Sep 2010 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
