Great company pasta recipe. I too used 1 tbsp. peppers and sauce and would cut it back to 1/2 tbsp. in the future. Other than that, it's perfect just the way it is written. I made this at my sister's house, and the whole family loved it...however it is a very rich dish, and small portion with a salad was too much for me....But will make this one again...and again.
