Nice, light pasta dish. I used red chili powder instead of crushed red peppers, and chedder cheese instead of parmesan, and it turned out very tasty! You can also add some chopped green bell peppers to the sauce for that extra crunch.

Loved the flavor, bf did too. I did add the bell peppers as suggested. Wish I had fresh basil, only dried on hand. I think I'll cut back a little on the olive oil next time around, cuz i definately will be making this again.
