Awesome Recipe
I have made this recipe twice. The first time as stated and the second time I added a frozen bag of Japanese Blend Stir Fry veggies and it was wonderful. This one is definitely on my keeper list. Oh! and it reheats great too! That is always the final test for me with new recipe.

Tasty!
We loved this! Changes we made were as follows: a jar of sun-dried tomatoes for the cherry tomatoes, and sprinkled with lemon juice and Parmesan cheese as others suggested. Will keep this as a regular dish!

This would have been so much better had I remembered to put the butter in at the end. I topped with lemon juice and parmesan cheese. Very good

Use a bit more red pepper and squeeze a bit of lemon on w/ a sprinkle of parmesan cheese. Gives it more flavor.

Tried it for the first time and it was wonderful. I cut the recipe in half for my wife and I . The beauty of being more healthy and tasting great. Neither of us had to add any thing to the dish at the table . Kudos to the chef are a given .

Gourmet Quality! Yum!
I absolutely loved this healthy recipe - especially how the spinach sneaked in. The only thing I will do different the next time I make it is add more garlic (and maybe cut the recipe in half so I won't be tempted to overdo my portions). My 16 year old son gave this a two thumbs up as well.

Garlic Shrimp Pasta
I made this last night according to the recipe. My very picky 2 year-old said, "Mom! This is delicious!" My husband and older son loved it as well. Pretty much sums that up! It's a keeper!

This is a light and TASTY dish that is easy to prepare and perfect for quick summer suppers. The portions are substantial and if you're following WW, it's a points value of 6. It's a perfect meal in itself but if you feel that something is missing, an accompaniment of crusty bread would be perfect!

Outstanding.I prepared this when I had several couples over for dinner. Everyone loved it. I will definately serve this again. I sauteed the tomatoes and spinach for a couple of minutes with the wine and chicken broth.

This was awesome, healthy and easy. I did add a little more garlic and red pepper flakes. My kids and hubby loved it and it made enough for lunch the next day.

Great tasting and easy!
So easy to make and alter to your taste or with what you have on hand. You can use fresh arugula instead of spinach- just add it to the shrimp and onions to cook a few minutes. If you use spinach, you can replace fresh with frozen (heated first); you can also replace fresh shrimp with cooked, deveined, frozen shrimp (thawed frist). I used dried parsley flakes in place of fresh. I also used a whole box of angel hair pasta and it fed my 5-person family easily.

This is a keeper!
I cut this recipe in l/2 for just my husband and me. I ran it through the Weight Watchers recipe builder and it was still only 7 pts. for l-l/2 servings. I didn't use the wine, just used l/2 c. chicken stock. I also used a heaping tablespoon of minced garlic and didn't add any oil to the pasta, tomato, spinach mixture. It is a very tasty recipe and we will definitely be eating this again.

Great tasting!
Made this the other night and my 4 year old couldn't get enough! It was easy to do and tasted great. I didn't add the wine, but it still came out great. I added broccoli instead of the spinach because I had forgotten spinach at the store. =) This is definitely going to be a "regular" at our house.

This recipe was delightful! It was light, and the flavors of garlic, and wine were perfect. My husband didn't look very happy when I told him there was spinach in it, but he loved the whole thing. I know I will make it again. For guests, I would prep the ingredients. it'll make it quick to prepare.

I loved this dish. Due to allergies, I used White Grape Juice rather than Wine. The citrus flavor combined with the shrimp made your typical heavy pasta dish light and refreshing.

This wasn't one of my favorites. It was light, and relatively quick, but to me it lacked a little in flavor. If I make it again, I will ad more garlic, and fresh basil which I think will really help--and some grated cheese

Wowza!
Very good, although next time I cook this (which I will, of course) I'm going to add more garlic. It's an all-in-one meal and all you need is a pot and a pan! And, well, a cutting board of course.
