YUM! Sweet caramelization! I used the whole amount listed of oil, shallots, and garlic, and then cut the rest by about 1/2. Also, I seasoned with "everyday seasoning" by Trader Joe's. It has red pepper flakes in it and gave the dish a tiny little kick. Even my meat-loving husband liked this. I would make this again! The Shady Ladies, ZWT7

This certainly has a lot of flavour! The shallots caramelized beautifully. I did use a few extra shallots, about 15, to save leaving a few in the bag and wasting them. Next time I'll try adding some white wine to the shallots in place of the pasta water as I imagine that would really compliment the flavour. Made for ZWT7.

I make this all the time, it is one of my favorite pasta dishes! When I saw it in Everyday with Rachael Ray magazine I knew I had to try it and have made it several times. The worst part is chopping the shallots, that is torture on your eyes, but it is worth it for this delicious dish!

This was very flavorful! I added a handful of shredded zucchini as well to get some veggies into my kids secretly : ) I used regular pasta instead of whole wheat. I have to say the leftovers tasted better a couple days later, but I will definitely make again.
