1 lb of pasta was way too much in my opinion. like the combo of ingredients but with all that pasta it was very bland. might make it again with 1/2 lb. Read More

Um maybe the item that was MISSING was the OLIVES? If there are only 5 ingredients leaving one out and then complaining is just silly. This recipe was delish: I put more peppers and more olives and only marinated an hour and it was Great! WHOLE family loved it! Read More

Haven't actually tried the recipe though it looks good but I have to ask... How can you post a recipe with an interesting name like Mean Woman Pasta and not explain how it got that name? Enquiring minds want to know!:) Read More

Really really good. I sliced the peppers instead of leaving them whole to make the recipe a little spicier. I also serve this with toasted baguette slices as an appetizer. YUM! Read More

I made this pasta dish for dinner last night and although I only had three hours to marinate it it was still great. I substituted half of the pasta shells with beef stuffed ravioli and it was so delicious. Will definitely make it again. Read More

Prepared this the night before to let the tomatoes marinate then used it over brown rice and chicken the next night. Awesome! The flavors added a welcome flavor to rather bland brown rice and grilled chicken. Read More

Love it! I did make a few slight adjustments to suit our tastes - we wanted warm spicy pasta so I subbed 2 cans of diced tomatoes for the chopped reduced the oil increased the pepperoncini and added red pepper flakes and chunks of pepperoni for extra heat...but I must say the recipe is also perfect as-is! Rave reviews - I will be making this again soon:) Read More
