This literally made my significant other groan with pleasure on every bite. I followed the recipe exactly with the exception of using thick sliced fresh red and yellow peppers instead of the roasted peppers. It had a fresh, end of summer flavor. I am low carbing, so at it as-is. He is not, so I tossed spaghetti cooked al-dente with minced garlic, a little olive oil, some fresh minced basil and a diced fresh tomato. This was a huge hit, amazingly easy and will be coming out of the closet soon for guests. Thank you for this recipe!
