Notes about this recipe

Very delicious ?? certainly give this recipe a try. I found the seasoning adequate despite other comments saying bland. Will make again.

Amazing flavour. Added some Aleppo pepper flakes for a subtle heat. Knocking off one star because my spaghetti did not really crisp up at all. I might try cooking it for longer with the lid off next time.

yum. Really flavoursome, and for once in our family no extra cheese was added to pasta - highly unusual. As has been said already, the topping makes it - loved it and will now be a regular

We LOVED This, although I agree that if it was seasoned exactly as directed it could be bland. Don't be afraid of the salt here because both the chicken and spaghetti will absorb a lot. Next time I'd add even more lemon zest, and I think I'd mix in some anchovies/capers as well (since I'm not feeding any kids, lol).

This is one-pot and seriously delicious! However, I increased the seasoning (very generous with black pepper) and added some red pepper. I also increased the parmesan cheese, lemon rind and parsley. I suspect if this was made exactly as written it would taste rather bland. I used linguine rather than spaghetti and it worked.

This is a big favourite in our house. Can be made with many variations - often broccoli or a green salad on the side. Today I added ham too for a change. A slightly thicker pasta like linguini holds up too, tonight I actually used bucatini which was awesome but I parcooked it first in boiling water.

I was hesitant about cooking the pasta using this method, but the flavours it absorbed were delicious and the crispy crumb topping really made the dish. On the down side the pasta was too soft and was clumsy to eat. Easily fixed by adding a little less water and using a shorter pasta shape.

Cooking dried spaghetti in the oven? For an Italian, this recipe was a leap of faith - not unexpectedly, one which was generously rewarded. As suggested in its intro, it is a child pleaser and the adults enjoyed it with a sprinkling of chilli flakes and green salad on the side. Used gluten free pasta and breadcrumbs and it was delicious. Will make again.
