So is this a hot or cold pasta? Ive read and re-read. Seems like warm at best..flavours sound delish and I'd like to try it.

This is a wonderfully easy and delicious pasta dish. The lemony flavor is light and tasty flavored so well with the seasonings. I used whole-wheat linguini and omitted the olives because I didn't have any though they would be delicious with it. I did add a few more tomatoes in their place, however. Very tasty! Thanks for sharing, Annacia. Made for Photo Tag. -
Very good!! I put shrimp in also. Will definitely make this again. Maybe add asparugus and shrimp the next time. -
wow was this delicious.. I used mini orange and yellow cherry tomatoes and grated romano instead of parmesan -
Very yummy and so easy! I also added shrimp. This is absolutely delicious and light; thanks for sharing! -
I made this tonight (12/13/18). I'm used to meat sauce or creamy sauce on pasta, so was a little concerned with the broth being so light. I didn't use olives, nor garlic. I also added a large piece of chicken cooked on the stove in olive oil and chopped it up. I'm not one to measure things and I didn't this time either. Added a little more of this and a little more of that. A little extra seasoning, too. My husband and I both thought this was really good. And it was so easy to put together. Will be making this often now.
