Season with salt, garnish with red pepper flakes and basil, and serve.

Looks good, sounds good, tastes....TERRIBLE! Look I read the comments so I wasn't too surprised but I tried it anyway, I mean not everyone likes the same thing. I added more pasta water, then some butter, more garlic and salt and pepper and then some cream but no, it was just not good. Let's just say it was like eating spackle. My husband, like the ever supportive trooper he is ate what was on his plate. My Dad took two bites and that's it. Whoever is reading this who still wants to try this recipe add bacon or shrimp.....or anything to this to make it a little better. Oh and this definitely should be a side dish, not a main dish. Good luck

Simple and good. You definitely need to make sure that it's well salted in step 3. Also, the red pepper flakes should be more than a garnish. I added about 1 and half tablespoons. Bright and quick.

This was not good at all.  I followed the recipe exactly and found it to be bland and very disappointing.
