Loved it! I made it last night for me and my husband and it was delicious. This dish is definitely spicy so if you are not into that then I would cut down on the red pepper. I made it exactly as recommended and I wouldn't change a thing- very rare for me. Great portions and surpisingly easy to make. - 9/16/09

This is a winner! My husband is not a pasta person so I wondered if he would enjoy it. He finished it...there were no leftovers.
I only used 1 tbsp oil rather than the 3 in the recipe but added 4 tbsp shredded Parmesan cheese at the table, 1 per person. Stirred in the parsley just before serving - 12/23/09

I'm making this right now, but I used actual sun-dried tomatoes instead of the paste. It smells wonderful!
Okay, we ate this, but I didn't think it was spicy at all. I actually added more red pepper (doubled amount), and next time I will probably add even more. It did have a very good flavor. - 3/6/10

My favourite dinner out has always been Seafood Linguine. However, I'd never put those hot peppers on it and spoil the taste. But that's just me. Try adding a little plain lite-yogurt for a blush sauce,. half a can of tomato paste, half cup do grated fresh parmesan cheese, and a dozen scallops.

Tomatos and shrimp????? I love both ingredients but together? I have never tried anything like this but the video made it look so easy, I will definately take the chance. And no, I do not even use cocktail sauce with shrimp either. Maybe I am just wierd that way. Sushi doesn't use tomatos. - 2/10/10

Made it last night. Had to cut it in half as only two of us. As another writer said, you might want to cut back on the red pepper. DH like it, but it was a bit much for me. I didn't have tomato paste in the house and was using frozen tomatoes from the garden. Got to find the paste in a tube. - 12/2/09

I make my own version of this all the time! I only use enough oil so the ingredients don't burn. I've never used sundried tomato paste and the butter is NOT needed. I use fresh tomatoes too. also great with shallots, and pretty much any other veggies added, bell peppers, spinach, mushrooms etc. - 10/17/12

This was great! I read through all the comments and for some it was too spicy, some not spicy enough & a few comments about calories. We included a side salad for dinner & the whole meal topped out at less than 500 calories - perfect. Use of the olive oil made it heart healthy. Followed the recipe. - 11/29/11

I make my own sundried tomato "paste" using sundried tomatoes from the jar in the food chopper. Must have the sun dried for the flavor-fantastic. My husband doesn't like chunks of tomatoes so I purée them and makes it more saucy. I have made this several times like this - family LOVES it. - 11/29/11
