THE TEST

Guinea Pig Amber was all too eager to give this recipe a try on her family, AND to rave about how good it was
(making the rest of us guinea pigs jealous, lol!).  The adults loved it, though the red pepper in the recipe made it a little too spicy for her toddler and pre-schooler.  Next time she said she'll take some of the pasta out before adding the seasoning to see if that helps.  She served it with asparagus. The leftovers made great lunches!

This is a quick meal (30-minutes from start to finish), though it does require focus the first time you make it.  Once you get the hang of it, though, it'll probably be easy-peasy.  It's not to taxing on the grocery budget either, especially if you have things like half and half or sun dried tomatoes on hand already.  
If you want to try this at home consider these tips:

• Go ahead and add a full 7oz jar of sun-dried tomatoes (-the ones in oil). They really add to the flavor.
• Fresh basil is always a good thing.
• Ease up on the red pepper flakes if you're sensitive to spicy foods.
• Want something a little richer? Try heavy cream instead of half and half. : )

CONCLUSION

NOM!  De - lish! A keeper for sure!
