"A lighter pasta dish, full of veggies, great for warm weather. Goes great with grilled chicken or grilled shrimp added to the pasta if you like something a little more substantial."

I made it hoping my kids would like it and I was so happy when they dug into it and cleaned their plates. They aren't vegetable lovers so sometimes they are picky! The hubby says I can definitely make this one again, so thumbs up all the way for this one!

I made this for just me and my hubby for lunch so I cut the recipe back to half and proceeded. It came out great and we both licked our bowls clean! We loved the heat from the crushed red peppers, but I didn't use much because I didn't want it too spicy. Yum!
