Fettuccine Margherita

Submitted by LonghornMama

"This recipe is from Quick Vegetarian Pleasures by Jeanne Lemlin. I have made this a million times and never get tired of it. This is a simple recipe where the result is more than the sum of its parts. I suggest using good quality tomatoes, it really does make a difference here. Don't worry about the red pepper, it's not a spicy dish."

Made this for Dinner tonight. It was really fast to put together for during the week and great that the ingredients are usually on hand here. I added a little more of the crushed red pepper than the recipe asks for. I think I was expecting more of a flavor though. But it was a delicious recipe anyways for the fettuccine. I think I would prefer the cheese in the sauce next time, maybe that would change the flavor just a bit. I would make this recipe again though and try it that way. Thanks for posting the recipe LonghornMama

I keep forgetting to review this recipe! I have made it a couple of times so far, never with fettuccine though (penne, shells, etc) and DH and I love it!!! It is so easy to make, and it's got a great flavor. Thank you so much for posting!

Have to echo all the reviews here. Rich in flavors and easy to assemble, although you can make it spicier if you like. Great go-to-pasta recipe for a romantic date night cooking together in the kitchen with wine of course.

I love this recipe. I've made this a few times and it never fails. Easy recipe to follow(especially when I am horrible at cooking). Thanks for sharing this with us.
