"This sophisticated sauté' gets a subtly smoky flavor from a shot of tequila. I've never been able to find pepper linguine, so I always use regular linguine. This is another recipe from my Arizona Favorites and has become a family favorite here at the Watson house. After making this dish many times, I have discovered NOT 2 Overcook the veggies, stick to the sauté times and you'll have a delightful dish"
