I used 16 ounces of pasta, skipped the peppers, used cooked chicken(I had left over from the day before),1 cup of basil, after tossing all together drizzled some olive oil on it and served with fresh grated parmesan cheese.Very good!

This was tasty and easy. I used cherry tomatoes instead of the sundried, and threw in the basil leaves whole white onion instead of red. I also used bowtie pasta. I made too much and froze it without the dairy. Simon ate it that way and said it was nice. I stirred a tbs of sourcream and 2 tbs ricotta through mine.
