This was good. I had reservations because I thought there wouldn't be much flavor. I tried putting in less butter but ended up going with the whole amount. I used garlic/parsley flavored pasta and followed another reviewer's suggestion of adding a squeeze of lemon at the end. Because I probably used too much pasta I had to add more chicken broth as well. All in all this was a great meal as long as you use high quality ingredients. (I also used regular balsamic vinegar which turned out fine.)
This meal made me so happy! I really loved it in its simplicity. I added a squeeze of lemon juice and stayed to the recipe other than that. I do think more broccoli and more pine nuts would improve the ratio. My man thought some crushed red pepper would do well too. Excellent. I hope you get many positive ratings for this!
Very tasty! We liked it an might try adding sun dried tomatoes next time.
When I found this recipe when I was hunting for something to make with what I had in the cupboard. I also added chicken as well as used regular balsamic. It turned out great! My entire family loved it and we will definitely make it again.
I loved this pasta. I used regular balsamic vinegar and shredded parmesan cheese instead. Skipped the "crisping" step but it was delicious!
This was not very good. I thought it sounded delicious but when i actually made it i was sorely disappointed. It was very bland and didn't have a whole lot of content. I ended up having to add a lot to make it taste good. Also as a side note - the portions are very large.
This was a great family meal. I added chicken that I seasoned and sauteed. It was delicious and I make it once a week and my kids love it including the broccoli.
Awesome recipe. I did not add the broccoli or the pine nuts. I added can chicken red wine vinegar and a couple pinches of dill weed. Cooked it all in the pot. Just sprinkled Parmesan and put the lid on the casserole and it all steamed together. I didn't even put it in the oven because I couldn't wait to eat it.!Scrumptious!!
I cooked some chicken pieces in the olive oil instead of garlic. I like the flavor of garlic that hasn't been browned so I added it at the end and didn't cook it much. It was great not dry at all and the pine nuts added an interesting twist (and when I make it again I'll leave out the chicken--it wasn't a very good addition after all).
