Thank you so much for this recipe. I first tried it about a month ago, and since then we've been eating it once a week! Both my husband and I love it. The only thing I did differently was cut back a bit on the butter and oil (using a nonstick pan really helps). I also use more asparagus. This is also good with some baby portobella mushrooms added. I think this would probably be good with a variety of vegetables. Once asparagus is no longer in season, I plan to try this with sugar snap peas and also broccoli. Excellent recipe - simple and so yummy.

So easy and delicious! We loved this simple pasta dish and will be having it often. I think the leftovers will also be great for lunches - cold. This recipe is so versatile (sp) I also think this will be wonderful with other vegetables - I was wondering about green beans and/or peas. Thanks for sharing this keeper!

This was pretty good. I made a few modifications since the people I made it for don't like spicy food. I didn't add the hot pepper sauce but I doubled the garlic. At the end before I was about to pour it over pasta, I poured in a can of stewed tomatoes (with basil, balsamic vinegar, and oregano already in it) and then let it simmer for a bit. Then I served it with spaghetti (that's all I had) instead of macaroni. Thanks!
