This dish was a disaster! The pasta was overcooked and the sauce was too oily. The lemon zest and chives were completely overpowered by the other flavors. I would not recommend this recipe.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. The lemon zest and chives didn't really add much flavor. I think I would have preferred a more flavorful sauce.

This dish was a bit too lemony for my taste. I think I would have preferred less lemon zest. The chives were a nice touch, though. Overall, it was a decent dish, but not one that I would make again.

This dish was easy to make and very delicious. The lemon zest and chives gave it a bright, fresh flavor. I used angel hair pasta instead of spaghettini and it worked out well. I will definitely be making this again.
