Just made it today. Delicious, easy to make - will become a regular dish at our home. Have shared it with others who are vegetarians. This would also be a great sidedish for T-Bone Steak.

Because of the richness of the butter (and yes, I still do use real butter) and the Parmesan cheese, this is probably closer to 4 servings when served with a salad or bread. That said, this has been added as one of next new pasta dishes on my list. Sounds very tasty and different.
