Great recipe! Recommend adding Parmesan To it and swapping parsley for coriander! Will definitely do it again!
Too bland needs more spices or something to combat the overpoweringly bland taste of the yogurt. Or better yet find a different recipe.
Add more pasta This recipe works well with a full pound of pasta 1 cup of pasta cooking water. With those changes it made 4 very tasty dinner servings. Pros: Delicious fresh easy Cons: Ratios are off
Fresh light and reminiscent of the Mediterranean. I loved this dinner my family loved this dinner and guests loved this dinner. After some of the reviews I made the sauce and TASTED it first before I put it on the shrimp and vegetables just in case I didn't like it. That was not a problem as I like tart and lemony food. And it very definitely reminded me of light dinners in Italy and Greece. I also thought the peas were actually a great addition as they offset a bit of that tartness. I made fresh grated Parmesan and ground pepper available as well. Pros: Very quick lovely taste filling and satisfies pasta cravings
The sauce is weird but not terrible. I wouldn't make it again.
refreshing and yummy I have always loved a white rich cream sauce but am trying to be a bit healthier. This is such a refreshing tangy pasta. Its great hot or cold. After reading comments I used regular yogurt instead of low fat. Do NOT use greek yogurt it is much thicker and the sauce will not turn out perfect and creamy. My boyfriend loved it. I will definitely make again. I thought it had lots of flavor was different and delicious!
I love this recipe - amazing the difference we all have in taste Wow - upon reading the repeated reviews for this I'm surprised - this is one of my favorite recipes - I love the tart flavor. Perhaps it is important to make with good pasta and like one reviewer said - regular yogurt - not low fat - I love the freshness. Pros: easy and quick to make
Good with a few tweaks The reason there are so many complaints about the sauce flavor is because low fat or fat free yogurt is just so wrong. Use real yogurt people! Look at the difference in calories between reduced fat yogurt and the good stuff. Not a big difference. And look at all the ingredients you can't pronounce in the low fat yogurt. You don't want that in your bod. For this recipe I use plain goat yogurt and it's awesome. Any plain whole yogurt would be good! You might be tempted to try with Greek yogurt but don't! (It's too thick to make nice creamy sauce.) I use whatever veggies I have on hand like sugar snap peas and broccoli rabe. I added some shallots to the sauce too. So so good! Cons: Use better yogurt!
Don't waste your time The sauce was awful! We rinsed off the veggies shrimp and pasta to salvage something edible. The sauce tasted like sour chalk. I cook with yogurt very frequently and thought this would be good but I was so very wrong. Pros: Good veggie and shrimp mix Cons: Sauce
I liked how easy it was to make and I liked the ingredients. My husband loved this recipe whereas I couldn't even finish a plate. I found tangy and bland. To me it simply tasted like plain yogurt on noodles. I won't be making it again and I am very thankful I didn't serve it to anyone but my husband
Don't bother Wired combination that doesn't go well together and simply wastes time money and effort on making a disappointing meal.
Needs tweaking I cooked this with many tweaks. I only made one serving of this so it was easy. cooked quinoa pasta and peas in one boiling water pot ( why does everyone here hate the peas in this?). I then cooked the shrimp in garlic olive oil lemon white wine & red pepper. I mixed plain regular yogurt with sour cream & lemon in the bottom of a bowl. Then when all was done I added the pasta peas & shrimp to the bowl & mixed it all in. Added parmesan pine nuts & parsley and I thought is was pretty good & filling! I'm eating my dinner in halves tonight! Pros: Easy
Good recipe with a tweak next time Omit the peas wrong flavor and texture for this combo. Added more garlic and lemon juice. Loved the yogurt sauce but reduced the amount. Very tasty. Pros: Loved the tang from the yogurt garlic and lemon. Cons: Omit the peas. They add a unwelcome sweet to the lemony garlic flavor.
Delicious I made this for my husband and father in law and we all loved it. It's a little tangy but I like that creamy and I didn't feel guilty about eating it. Pros: Fresh and light
Great except for the tangy off-taste of the sauce I am a registered dietitian and I loved the idea of this recipe but agree with many comments that the flavor is a bit too tangy and the texture too runny. I used plain Greek yogurt instead (personalrd.com) and the result was much better! Pros: Lots of veggies lower fat than alfredo sauce Cons: tangy off-taste
Sauce makes this a waste of good shrimp and veggies The sauce was just too weird tasting with the yogurt. If I made this again I would find just a normal Alfredo or other sauce. It ended up being a huge waste of money good shrimps and good veggies because we didn't eat it. Pros: Shrimp lots of good vegatables Cons: The Sauce
Easy and delicious! I've never seen such a controversial recipe! Seems like you love it or hate it! I read through some comments and decided to use 50% reduced fat creme fraiche instead of yogurt. everything else was exactly like the recipe. It was delicious and a perfect summer-time meal. I shaved on some parmesan before serving and sprinkled on some chili flakes for me. I would make this again for sure! Pros: easy ingredients Cons: controversial sauce!
Too much garlic and the sauce was weird Was way too much garlic and the sauce went weird when we mixed it with the pasta wouldn't eat it again Pros: none Cons: Just about able to eat..... just!
Loved it! To each their own but I really enjoyed this meal! It's something different...definitely tasty! Pros: Easy Bright Flavors
Great Recipe! I really enjoyed this recipe! I made a couple changes; chicken instead of shrimp (I don't like shrimp) and I omitted the red peppers and added mushrooms. I love the tangy tart flavour it was a nice change from everyday pasta! Easy to make yummy dish Pros: Different tangy flavour
Interesting for sure! First off boiling everything in a big pot together is odd. I have never cooked anything like that before. I only used one tablespoon of lemon because I knew my kids would complain and I'm glad I did. Sauce has a tart taste. I liked it. Kids didn't but they don't like anything. The raw garlic is harsh even for me and I like raw garlic. Maybe cut back on the garlic or saute first in the olive oil to take that strong bite away. Pros: Easy to make Cons: Little heavy on the garlic
DO NOT LISTEN TO NEGATIVE REVIEWS! I make this recipe ALL the time and I love it every time I make it. My friends love it my boyfriend loves it my kids love it... and its easy. I'm so glad I did not listen to the negative reviews for the recipe! Its super easy and yummy! Pros: Everything Cons: Nothing
Very good I liked this but when I make it again I will use less lemon juice. It made it a bit more tangy than I prefer. I used greek yogurt and it was a healthier alternative and had the same great taste. Pros: very filling Cons: a little too tangy for my taste
The sauce was absolutely awful. Luckily I only made one serving so I didn't waste too many vegetables.
A waste of good shrimp and veggies If you feel like purchasing and preparing some great ingredients and then ruining them make this recipe. Literally anything other than this sauce would make this a better dish. Chocolate syrup ice cream or Mountain Dew would have made a better sauce. One suggestions if you plan on making this for dinner make sure you have a dinner reservation at a local restaurant for later that night. Gross!! Pros: Shrimp and veggies are great ingredients Cons: Worst sauce I have ever tasted
I don't know why so many people dislike this dish...it's something different and tasty! Sure it has a tang and a bite but I for one enjoyed the change from regular boring ol' pasta sauce. If your not an adventurer of flavor and are turned off by bold tastes perhaps this dish is better left untouched by you. definitely not an alfredo sauce people. Love it in the summer with a nice glass of white wine.
Definitely a keeper The changes I made: -Chicken for the shrimp -no peas (I don't like the texture of shrimp or peas) -Greek yogurt -fresh lemon -angel hair pasta It is definitely not a traditional pasta dish but I really enjoyed the flavor combinations present. If you like tangy Greek style flavors I would definitely give it a try. If you're looking for more of a warm comfort pasta dish you should probably pass this one up. Pros: Light tangy refreshing Cons: none
please don't read the negative feedback! I am glad that I didn't let the negative reviews scare me away. This dish is so good. i made it last night and i just had 2 servings of leftovers for lunch and loved every bite. It's true that it is NOT a shrimp alfredo type of dish. The sauce is less 'italian' in nature and more mediterranean (like the description says). You definitely don't want to heat the sauce. Just make sure the pasta is hot and add the sauce at room temp or refrigerated if leftovers. You will love it-it's very tasty and very different:) Pros: easy delicious even good the next day Cons: disappointing if you're expecting alfredo sauce
So sorry to have wasted a meal. The recipe looked so good but the sauce ruined it! We ended up just eating the veggies and shrimp and threw out the pasta with the funky sauce! Pros: Great veggie and shrimp combo. Cons: Sauce is not good! Make sure your pallet can handle this kind of sauce before you make it.
definitely a summer pasta I was pretty hesitant to try this recipe given all the negative reviews but I had pretty much everything for it already so why not? I did use half the lemon juice since that had come up a lot used Greek yogurt instead of regular since I've heard it's creamier and won't curdle and put in a few more garlic cloves because my boyfriend and I are big garlic fans. First bite was interesting but as I kept eating it I realized I really liked it! I definitely think it's a good summer pasta since it's more refreshing and won't make you feel toooo heavy afterward. The yogurt-y taste is much more mild the day after too. I found myself slurping up the sauce... If you're thinking you'll taste something like alfredo sauce then of course you'll be disappointed. But I personally thought it was very good very refreshing and loaded with good stuff! PS. The toasted pine nuts really added to it delish! Pros: easy healthy refreshing
Weird Sauce bad Combination This recipe was horrible. I followed it closely at first (minus half the lemon juice) to see if the other reviewers who gave it a bad review were wrong. When I finished with the normal recipe and it turned out poorly I followed a few different tweeks to the recipe (added cilantro and parsley) (then added more garlic) (then tried a little parmesan) and none of the tweeks made it much more edible. It saddens me to say that there really is no saving this recipe and I would recommend just moving on to something more edible. The ingredients just don't blend well together. Pros: Made from a bunch of great tasting ingredients. Cons: The ingredients don't taste good together.
dont make this I've been using serveral of these recipes and this is the first one to completely let me down. GROSS!!! dont waste your time. good luck if you decide to make this you'll need to go buy dinner after Pros: none Cons: bland bitter
Gross This is the most horrible dish I have ever made. It looks boring and taste boring. I ate one spoon and threw the rest to garbage what a waste! You definitely need to read reviews before you cook.
Boyfriend says it sucks. It could have been my shrimp although I used frozen and the expiration date was no where near up yet. The sause tasted like bathroom cleaner my boyfriends said. It was pretty gross and I am Miss Health food lover and not picky to say the least I will try things that I can't even identify. Pros: Easy to make and healthy Cons: Tastes like Pinesol
So sour! We hated this recipe because the greek yogurt made it way too sour. I will not be making this again! Pros: Nothing Cons: Too sour and no one liked it!
I found the sauce to be bland. I had to keep adding things to it to get any flavor out of it. I am not the biggest fan of asparagus and thats the only thing I kept tasting. My friends thought it was alright but did not recommend I make it again.
Very tasty but ease up on the lemon juice Very fast and easy to make. Love that you throw it all together at the end. Makes a very nice presentation. Could halve the lemon juice though. It is a bit tart but my 7 year old cleaned her plate. Enough said.:) Pros: Quick easy flavorful Cons: A bit too tart/lemony
Curdled I used Greek yogurt mind you but it curdled when I put it with the pasta. Pros: Fast and easy Cons: Curdled yogurt was not appetizing
I used broccoli instead of asparagus and I added half the amount of salt the recipe called for but it was still a bit too salty. Also prepare the sauce before you cook everything else it took me longer to make than it took the pasta to boil which left everything lukewarm at the end.
I used Greek yogurt and it curdled when I added the hot pasta mixture. Tasty ok but looked awful. Used chicken instead of shrimp. Also used less salt.
Absolutly love this recipe!!! I added fresh green beans more garlic than called for (I love garlic) and scallops to it as well as the other veggies noted. I dont like asparagus (yuck) but I love it in this!! I seared the scallops before I put them in the mix and I used alread cooked deveined and peeled shrimp so I added it last. Will be added to our recipes to make often!! Thanks so much!!
Decent dish. I like the convenience of cooking the whole thing in a single pot of boiling water but next time I will probably saute or grill the shrimp to add a little more flavor. We added a 1/4 tsp of red pepper flakes to boost the flavor profile slightly. The sauce was easy to make and made it while the pot of water was heating up.
Had this two nights ago. Marvelous!! I halved the recipe since there are only two of us. After the pasta/veggies were drained I rinsed them under cool water for just a couple of seconds and then waited a couple of minutes before I mixed them into the yogurt mixture. Definitely on our favorites list!
Very delish! An easy week night dinner.
The sauce masks the main ingredients' flavor instead of enhancing it. Was not fond of this dish.
I made this last night and was very impressed; a few variations though: Cooked the shrimp on the BBQ. I tossed them in a paste of paprika cayenne salt smashed garlic clove lemon juice and olive oil. Also I cooked the pasta four minutes added the green beans (not an asparagus fan) after another two minutes added the pepper slices and peas and cooked another three minutes. I used greek yogurt and didn't have a problem with it curdling. Delicious!
I used Greek yogurt without any problems. I also used shrimp that was already cooked and I just rinsed under cool water to defrost. Really good recipe that my husband and I loved!
Turned out pretty well! I ended up sauteing the garlic and veggies in 1-2 T olive oil until they were soft enough for us. Then I added the lemon juice and turned down the heat before adding the yogurt to the mixture. I also added a bit of garlic salt and 1.5 oz. mozarella cheese. Overall a nice dish!
I thought this dish was wonderful. It was healthy light and filling. I tried it for the first time with my boyfriend last week and we are having it for dinner again tonight!
I prefer to use vanilla yogurt for a much better taste!! For me using natural yogurt is to blant.
Loved it! Next time I'd add a little more shrimp than what the recipe called for but it'd be fantastic without the shrimp as a vegetarian modification of the recipe.
At beginning I doubt with this recipe but due to my curiosity I made it for dinner but I changed asparagus with sweet corn. It really easy and surprisingly delicious it only took me 15 minutes to made it. Really good choice as dinner at working day. Thank you for the recipe! Ben & Lili
liked the idea of using yogurt as creamy sauce substitute however would recommend using less garlic
haven't made it yet but sounds delicous!
My family loved this stuff!!! Except it was WAY too much salt.
It was edible but I didn't like the flavor of the sauce all that much. It was quite easy to make but I wouldn't make it again.
Do not waste your Asparagus on this recipe! Make the sauce as described but cook your shrimp and bellpeppers together separately add them to the pasta and the sauce at the end. Grill sautee or broil your asparagus separately and serve it as a side. You don't need peas at all. Keep the asparagus separate and you really have a five star recipe!
