I liked this... right amount of heat and a nice switch from red sauce pasta. I think I would use less oil, it seemed a bit heavy. I also added the parmesan once the pasta was on plates as suggested below, and I added some red bell pepper because I had it on hand. I felt like it needed a little something more, though. Perhaps fresh parsley or oregano. Cilantro for a different taste? I'll make this again but keep experimenting.

Loved this! Just the right amount of heat. The next time I make this I will put the fresh grated parm cheese in a serving bowl and let everyone put his own on. I didn't like the way it melted in the skillet. I served this with chicken breasts but would be good with pork also. Guess you can tell we are not vegetarians!

<br>I don't have a favorite recipe book (although my mom's 1970 version of Betty Crocker is a keeper)as I collect them at all half price book stores and garage sales. I read cookbooks in front of the TV and while on conference calls....don't tell!
