    I used a little less lemon juice and added a can of quartered artichoke hearts to the sauce. Served over capellini tossed with garlic and parmesan. It was really, really good.

    A bit on the lemony side for any of us here. I really enjoyed it though, we used fake chicken from Quorn. I will make a gain, just alter the lemon a bit.

    Very good and very easy. Excellent over angel hair pasta.

    Nice recipe -- I think there's a typo though in the cuisine. It's of course 'Italian', not 'Indian'. Thanks!
