We liked this recipe and thought it was easy to prepare. The only change we made was to reduce the crushed red pepper flakes. Thanks for posting.

If I could give six stars I would! I've cooked it twice in the past two weeks, and both times it was phenomenal! The only changes I would make would be to use a little less pasta and more veggies. I tried to use three fourths of a 12 oz. box of angel hair, but next time I'll only use half. And the second time I made it I did add two cups of red and green peppers to the mix. Next time I'll use the peppers but not the artichoke hearts because the flavors clashed somewhat. I would probably substitute chicken broth for the liquid in the artichoke can. I also second the reduction of the red pepper flakes. With that, the seasoning was perfect!

Okay, maybe this wasn't the original version of the recipe (not that I would've known, since I've never even heard of the show it came from), but I certainly didn't think it was horrendous! My only change was to reduce the crushed red pepper to 1 teaspoon, because the full 2 tablespoons might have killed me lol! In fact, DH ate half of the pan for dinner all by himself! He said that the taste reminded him a teensy bit of Bertucci's Shrimp Rossini, which he adores. I only had a little tester forkful of this before I left for work and really liked it, but I knew I'd like this because it contains some of my favorite ingredients. Give yourself a pat on the back, sweetie, since your version of this recipe officially passed DH's "eating half a pan 'cuz it's that good vs. eating enough to constitute a meal because I'm starving" test lol. Thanks for posting! Made for ZWT4 Family Picks

This is not how they made the dish on DDD. My husband made it as he watched it, DVR, then it got deleted. We tried this recipe and it was horrendous. DDD aired the episode on 6-22-08 and we wrote down the ingedients and how it was cooked. This recipe left out items and added in numerous items that are not called for.
