So quick and easy and very delicious! I followed the recipe almost exactly, except I added some onion and garlic and used dried basil (that's all I had). I also didn't use the cheese (I am not a gid fan of cheese). It was spicy and flavorful and really satisfied after a hard, long day! Thanks for posting this; I know I will be making it again in the future!

This was really very good! Added garlic too, as well as jullianned red bell peppers and snow peas. Would have liked to add broccoli but didn't have any... and just thought of thinly sliced onions or scallions while I'm typing this. That will have to be next time! I experimented with using only a Tbs of butter and no EVOO in the saute pan - trying to cut calories/fat. Would have liked pasta to be a tad moister, but it sat for a little bit while waiting for DH to get home from work, and the pasta soaked up most of the liquid. I'm sure this would not have been a problem if I'd have used the EVOO. This is a great, easy, quick weeknight dinner that can easily be adapted for whatever you have on hand. Thanks!

Grew up in South Louisiana (yup. A Cajun.) Lived in Texas and Alabama (Tex-Mex and Cornbread too...) I can make a real roux, family raises crawfish, and I can speak enough French to get my face slapped. My friends claim we could go on Survivor and gain weight (Us Cajuns, we'll eat anything, put enough Tabasco on it).
