9/30/2012Wow. What an amazing recipe. My hubby and I aren't huge mint fans so I subbed Italian parsley. Also, used an herbed cheese tortellini and Georgia Olive Farms evoo. To die for!

4/18/2012WOW! Fabulous! This reminded me of the bow-tie primavera recipe as you cook the veggies with the pasta. I used less olive oil (1/4 cup), and zapped it with the garlic in the microwave for 15 seconds to help it infuse. I also added about 3 TBS of crumbled bacon. I think it would also work well with chopped sundried tomatoes. Omitted the mint since I didn't have any in the garden. Had no need for the pasta water. What an amazing, quick dish...my husband couldn't stop eating it. A keeper!

4/1/2012Really good!! Fresh and healthy. I added some cooked, crumbled prosciutto, but it would have been great without it. Served it with mixed fruit in a lime juice, honey, mint dressing.

3/30/2012Followed the recipe to a T. We added Saputo Parmesan petals to the top and wow fantastic. A real keeper as I would say. Enjoy.

3/30/2012Easy to prepare, great Spring flavors and chock full of veg servings. I like the texture contrast of the soft tortellini and al dente asparagus--2 min cook time is the sweet spot for the asparagus. I've made it with multiple kinds of tortellini and both Goat and Parmesan cheeses and it's proven very adaptable. Definitely part of my Spring rotation now.

3/22/2012This was a fantastic recipe. Very easy to prepare, and with fresh peas and the mint, it was a springtime hit! My husband does not like vegetarian dishes in general, but he was hunting down the leftovers from this meal!

3/22/2012Very fast and tasty. I did use more goat cheese as I was trying to use it up.

3/4/2012Was quite good by itself. Even better with a little garlic bread as a side. Used 3/4 lb spaghetti as I did not have tortellini. Used slightly toasted and chopped walnuts as I did not have pine nuts. Would be really good with a little bacon or prosciutto. Be careful not to boil the asparagus longer than about 3-5 minutes. It gets soft fairly quickly. I cooked the asparagus first (boiled) and then removed it and then made the pasta and mixed it all together. Now that I've tried it, I would put the aparagus and peas in about 4 minutes before the spaghetti is done.

3/4/2012This was delicious, fast, and easy to make. My husband and I both loved it. I might add a bit more goat cheese next time,but no changes other than that.
