I would definitely add something like shrimp or chicken if I made this again.  It's good but without the meat of some kind it was a little too light for my family.  You could serve it as a side without the meat but for us as a main meal item it wasn't enough.

<p>This was awesome. I used a different shaped pasta because that's what I had. The only changes I made were to melt the butter then add the green onions and garlic to it and let it sit over a low burner while the pasta cooked. I would definitely make this again as a main or a side.</p>

<p>I thought this was a delicious way to use up fresh tomatoes and basil.  It was easy to prepare and easy to adjust for 1-2 people. I was looking for something light and this fit the bill perfectly.</p>

This is a really good recipe. Very flavorful. My husband and daughter don't like tomatoes but they still liked this recipe. I didn't change anything

Very good!  I cut back on garlic (3 for double batch) and added black olives.  I used half butter and half EVOO.

Love this recipe! It's very easy to make and my family loves it! I don't make any changes to the recipe.

I don’t usually write a review but I felt the need for this recipe. I love all kinds of pasta but often tire of the heavy cream or heavy tomato sauces. This recipe is light and very flavorful, a great way to use up tomatoes (my favorite are the Campari because they hold up well, it just takes more). It’s a fantastic summer dish...stand alone with a salad or use as a side. The addition of shrimp or chicken makes the dish a more solid meal if your trying to please a hungry husband. Mine gave this rave reviews and he’s not much of a pasta man.  I only made an addition by adding red or cayenne pepper because it adds a little oomph which we love. So easy and quick. You can throw everything together ahead of time to meld the flavors and just add your linguine right before serving. I have made with all different kinds of pasta and all are wonderful. Plenty good for company as well, just don’t forget to spice it up a bit. I have also used olive oil instead of the butter...either way is great.

It was excellent.The only thing I changed was use olive oil instead of butter. Will definitely make again.

This has been a summer favorite in our house for years.  Perfect towards the end of the growing season when we have lots of tomatoes.  I dice and fry chicken in butter and toss into the mix and we eat it as a meal.  I also use whole wheat thin spaghetti noodles as we prefer the noodles thinner.  The leftovers are just as good as when it is first made.

Fresh-tasting, light and delicious! Instead of butter, I tossed the pasta with a little olive oil, a very healthy fat. This is the perfect summer meal!

This was very good and delicious.  I will make again.  I had left overs so I will see how well it freezes.  If freezing doesn't work, next time I will try cutting it by half.  I used 4 tablespoons of butter and 3 garlic cloves.  I felt the pasta needed more moisture and I always add more garlic than a recipe calls for.  I loved how easy this recipe was to whip up.  I will keep it handy for tomato season.

My family loved this simple but delicious recipe.. I added black olives , more garlic, & alittle red pepper flakes while infusing the garlic , WONDERFUL...

I made this recipe but modified it a little bit,I infused the garlic with evoo,added red pepper flakes, added blake olives, less basil, since I didnt have fresh on hand & used cherry tomatoes. I did add butter after a few minutes of the garlic in oil, WONDERFUL LIGHT TASTY dish, Who needs meat when something taste this wonderful, thanks to the creator of this dish! One of our fav's

I am going to try this again, but will be using a thinner pasta and olive oil instead of butter. Something just didn't seem right to me and I really think it was the use of butter.

I absolutely love this pasta dish. This is now my favorite was to have pasta. The best!!!!
