You can make this dish anytime of the year, but it is especially good in the Spring with garden fresh peas and parsley. Simple, yet very tasty!

I really liked this recipe but made a few changes to make it a main course instead of a side dish. I used brown rice penne pasta (delicious and healthy) instead of bow-tie. I didn't have any peas but wish that I did. Also I only had the little sweet peppers that you ca buy at Costco (red yellow and orange) and thought they were a great substitute for just red bell peppers. Added crushed red pepper 1/8 tsp. and 2 cloves minced garlic to the sauce just to give it a little extra kick. Then I baked some chicken brushing it very lightly with EVOO salt pepper basil and a little minced garlic. YUM!! I served this up layered--pasta chicken and smothered with the sauce. Read More

I am shocked at how wonderfully tasty and delicious this recipe was. I never would have thought to make a sauce out of bell peppers but this recipe was awesome. What a way to start out my low-call diet! I was afraid I was going to have to eat dull dry flavorless food but making this recipe right out of the gate made me more optimistic. I actually made this again but doubled the recipe to make it a main meal and my whole family really enjoyed it including 2 teens and a toddler as well as my mother who was visiting. Read More

Used a can of white beans instead of the green peas and a handful of fresh spinach instead of parsley. I thought I was going to need to add cornstarch to thicken the sauce but after it had simmered for a few minutes with the cooked pasta and the other ingredients it thickened up on its own nicely. A very healthy but filling main dish and a nice flavor change from pasta sauce made from a tomato base. Read More

This was an awesome change from the regular old spaghetti sauce. I didn't have peas so I skipped on those but I didn't miss them. This would be awesome over steamed veggies too. Thanks for sharing! Read More

My family loved this pasta! The sauce had a nice bite and couldn't be easier to make even though I had to whip out my blender.;) I added chicken breast strips that I brushed with olive oil and fresh minced garlic before baking. This recipe is definitely going in our rotation and next time I will double the sauce and make more pasta so we'll have more leftovers. Thanks for posting the recipe! Read More

Easy and good. Portions would be a bit small if this was to serve 6 more like 4 I think. I will add shrimp or chicken to it next time. Read More
