Yummy
I really liked this dinner. I would have maybe put some salsa in it to flavor it up a bit. But other wise everyone enjoyed it.

Penne
Delicious! I used tarragon instead of thyme and thought it was a delight! My family did too!!!

Very very good
I doubled the amount of salmon, and added about 50% more veggies, but otherwise left it alone and it was great! I did use whole wheat pasta.

This is the first recipe I've cooked from this website and the meal went down very well. I added a few more vegetables and next time might lighten the amount of leeks but otherwise it was a fab meal and i'm looking forward to exploring this site.

penne/salmon & roasted veggies
This is a great recipe. Very easy to make. I did'nt think the chicken broth and the lemon juice would be good together but it made a nice sauce in the bottom of the pan which I put over the finished product and it really made the pasta taste delicious. I used a mix of green and yellow squash but I think you could really use any veggies on hand. So I would really recommend this to anyone who likes salmon.

Didn't care too much for the thyme. Too earthy. I think it would make a nice light summer meal.

I was hoping for a much better turnout with this recipe. It smelled wonderful cooking and I think I was expecting it to taste as good as it smelled. Nobody in my family ate it except me. Tastes better cold the next day. It seemed to be missing something. When it was cold I added grated parmesian cheese and a little more lemon juice. It needs a little more zip or something. 12 oz of pasta is too much and 1/2 lb of samon too little.

Delicious...can I suggest using wheat pasta in place of regular pasta? We tried it a little while ago, and I haven't eaten regular pasta since! The taste and the health benefits are great!
