We really enjoyed this quick and easy to make dish Doug. It was so good and was even better the next day. Thank you for sharing a new family favorite. I did add a little more of the red pepper flakes (personal preference only). Made exactly as written and wouldn't change a thing. Made FYC tag game 2015.
