Submitted by Bonnie G #2

"Recieved this in an email from another site and couldn't find it on here - the picture looks amazing and as DH and I love this type of fast but flavorful recipe know it will be good. It also says that prep can be done a day ahead which is always nice if there's company. Serve with steamed rice or over pasta"

This was very tasty & easy to make. It had a very strong pepper taste, which was almost too strong for my taste, but my DH & DD didn't seem to mind it.<br/>Made for Spring PAC 2014

Made for Fall PAC 2012 and this is another wonderful recipe that you have posted. I made as instructed only I think next time I will double the ingredients for the sauce mixture for a little more liquid on the pasta. Definately a keeper. Thank you for submitting.
