I was skeptical, I will admit, because this is really easy and simple. I didn't add any ingredients I just messed with amounts. I used my own roasted bell peppers and a TON of fresh garlic (like 4 huge cloves) because I love it and less Parmesan cheese. It was FABULOUS! If you used canned roasted bell peppers I bet the pepper flavor would be even stronger which is good, but home roasted are great too. Make it now! Really. Super easy, super healthy (if you use whole wheat and good EVOO and no processed ingredients) and super yummy. I am always looking for a non tomato based pasta dish and I will be adding this to my regular rotation, like other reviews said too! Way to go Che~Sara`.

This recipe is amazing. My boyfriend and I make this all the time! It's really easy and delicious. At first we made it just as the recipe says- and it turned out wonderful. Since then, we have added or subtracted ingredients depending on what we have on hand. We've added black olives; left out the onion. I think the key is the mushrooms and the roasted red peppers- you really can't go wrong. This is definitely one to try!

We enjoyed this dish, but with a few alterations. I used a 12oz jar of rrps, as well as 2 home-roasted orange peppers. I also boiled 16 oz of whole wheat fusili, but only used about half of it and still felt like there was too much pasta and not enough vegetables. I also had only about 4 oz of grated parmesan, and was worried that this would be too bland, so I added about 1.5 T of capers (great, but should have chopped them) and about 1 T of cilantro (interesting, but parsley would have been better, and 1T was not enough). Still, we were very happy with the results, and I'll be making it again on our veg nights. Thanks!
