As written, this recipe is very tasty and gets 4-1/2 stars in my book! The only thing that I wasn't that happy about was that the sauce seemed kind of watery - but it was still good. The second time I made this, I added 1/4 cup heavy cream and fresh mushrooms - this bumped it up that 1/2 star to make it 5 stars! This will definately be a keeper
Absolutely delicious! I didn't want to spend a lot of money for shrimp, so I used chicken instead. Turned out great!
My husband and I enjoyed this recipe, and it was really quite simple to make! It wasn't a WOW in the flavor department, but it was fresh, simple and tasty. We also loved the spicy zip of the red pepper flakes (we LOVE spicy food). I followed the recipe to the letter (all except I used regular diced tomatoes instead of those with green chiles, and I used 3/4 of a lb of shrimp instead of a full pound because it was really expensive at my local seafood store).
The fresh parsley is a great touch and the leftovers are almost as good as the first go-round.
I will add this to my recipe box and make it again. Although next time, I might add another 1/2 cup of diced tomatoes, and will try the ones with the green chiles as suggested. Thanks Rachel!
Excellent. A perfect weeknight meal when you are low on groceries. I had some fresh basil so added that in addition to the parsley. I also used half butter and olive oil because I like the flavor of the two together. If you like this try the Pasta with Tuna Sauce recipe also on this site. Both are quite good.
This was very tasty. I didn't have penne so I used whole wheat pasta and it was delicious. A little spicy for the kids but very tasty. I will definitely make it again.
This was an amazing recipe....I followed it exactly except I did add some cream cheese in at the end
I thought this was delicious however this does not feed 4. Feeding 4 would mean each person would only get a cup of penne pasta. I used 12 oz of pasta and doubled the ingredients then added black olives and mushrooms. I kept everything else the same! It as super good! Thank you for sharing Rachel!
I loved this recipe! The only thing I didn't like was how thin the sauce was so i drained the juices off and added a little traditional pasta sauce. It was perfect besides that.
I made this with riced cauliflower instead of penne and it was delicious.
This recipe is a good starter recipe but needs additional ingredients to make it great. I added about three tablespoons of butter for taste and added Thyme and about 4 oz of cream cheese at the end. I used spaghetti and mixed it all together rather than putting the sauce on the pasta. I will be doing this again!
