My husband and I LOVE this recipe, and I just posted it on my blog, with our own modifications! We are definitely not vegetarian kinda people, so we would have added chicken had it not been during Lent. Since it was during Lent, we added fresh steamed shrimp, and also asparagus because I thought it would taste delish, and it did! :)

This is the second recipe I’ve tried from Stonesoup, and another winner! I used Barilla Plus farfalle, and I liked how the little bowtie shapes caught the pine nuts. This has a very mellow, smokey flavor. Very nice.

sorry andrea

don’t have any nutritional data. There isn’t a lot of cream here but if it really concerns you just skip the cream and increase the olive oil a little and use a little of the pasta cooking water to stop it being too dry.

This looks and sounds delicious, BUT, the cream is fattening(yes) it is probably one of the best components to satisfy the craving many of us have for thick sauces. Could something else be substituded? Or perhaps olive oil and the cream…just asking.

I didn’t see any nutrition info on this site for this recipe. If you have the statistics, please let me know or at the very least post them at the bottom of the recipe. I think if people knew how much fat they are getting from the cream and are trying to unclog their arteries, they will skip this recipe.

Sorry for the criiticism, but as a heart patient with 4 stents and now a pacemaker before the age of 60, there has to be other ways to prepare this meal so it tastes “sinful” but in fact is safe.

pine nuts are just OK, kind of bland and expensive. i would prefer walnuts, more tasty and meaty. skip the parmesan cheese and use pecorino romano. jmo

This was quick easy and delicious. My children ALMOST ate it, perhaps if I’d pulled it out of a McDonald’s bag first….
