I didn't care for the ricotta cheese, it was too bland and made the dish stodgy, rather than refreshing. I tried making it again, however as othhers have suggested, this time I tossed lemon juice into the pasta rather than just the zest and added fresh cracked black pepper and parmesan cheese.…

Why would anyone want to cook a springtime dish with frozen vegetables? Of their quality there can be no doubt, but to celebrate spring fresh new vegetables are so much nicer.

Not very advanced, but still tasty. Maybe just a a tad bland.. Loved that it is a super fast dinner!

Lovely fast dinner - great for after work. I use mozerrella cheese instead of ricotta as I'm not keen on ricotta. Have also used frozen soya beans instead of broad beans when I didn't have any and added a leek when I had one in the fridge, which added an extra texture to the meal.
