This is a wonderful, simple and quick-to-make pasta dish! I halved the recipe but was generous with the crushed red pepper because we love the stuff. I especially enjoyed the addition of the capers - gave it a nice salty/tart element that went well with the spice. Thanks for sharing your recipe! Made for Spring Pick-A-Chef 2014
