     I gave this recipe 5 stars, but wanted to point out that it doesn't reheat well. Something about the sauce consistency and fresh taste are damaged. So, I would suggest making this only when you are sure it will be eaten that day.

     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

     Pretty high on the calories and over the top with sodium! Maybe leave out the added salt and use low-sodium tomato paste & canned tomatoes. Way to much of both for me! - 12/11/09

     The calory count is still very high for the portion size.
    It comes to 2 ounces of PASTA per serving. You can cut out the oil & butter without sacrificing flavor. You can always add a drizzle of flavored oil on top of your serving. Me,I add
    more heat. - 11/3/09

     Very yummy. I cut way back on the pepper flakes because my family are nice spicy folk. 1/8 tsp was enough to leave a suggestion of spicy for us. - 9/15/09

     Not bad, good heat level. The sodium level was too high. A switch to fresh tomatoes brightens the flavor profile and cuts out a lot of the salt. Dicing a few tomatoes takes about as long as it takes to open a can. - 2/17/10

     Not as much sauce as I hoped for but surprisingly simple, flavorful and SPICY! Can be easily made without the shrimp for a vegetarian option or sub chicken. I will definitely make this again :) - 9/4/09

     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

     We loved this.. I make my own tomato sauce and added the spices to it as well as a little Cheyenne pepper. Wasn't really sure about using shrimp but decided to give it a whorl. I gave this 5 stars because my husband and I actually prefer it to the meat sauce I usually make. yumm

     Substituted clam juice for wine. Added tablespoon of capers. Added 2 t of anchovy paste for richness. Eliminated butter and only used half the oil. YUM! - 8/3/10
  • VANANDEL
     Fabulous! I added red peppers and added them about 15 minutes before the end of cooking so that they softened just enough. - 10/26/09
  • DPERINO
     made this for guest tonight and they loved it. Doctored it up a bit with adding assorted fresh mushrooms, green peppers and
    fresh jalapeno peppers. Everyone raved about it. Thank you so much for sharing. - 7/17/10

     Has anyone else noticed - the nutritional breakdown does not include the butter. 1 Tablespoon of butter is around 100 cals - depending on what kind - so thats another 25 cals per serving! Wow... - 6/8/10

     LOVE this! Bit bland as-is, but we've been tweaking it. Fire roasted toms + italian seasoning, regular tom paste + extra sundried toms (don't skimp!), red bell pepper, red onion, mushrooms, capers, white pepper, & a bit more wine make it perfect. Kids beg for it. New family favorite! - 10/26/11

     This was good, though I thought it needed extra hot sauce. We had extra shrimp with sauce which we ate with brown rice and I though the rice was even better than the pasta. - 8/23/10
  • SARAWALKS
     Just made this - love it! I used less oil, lots of red pepper, and added green peppers, capers, and anchovy paste, as was suggested by several others. WOW! What I did was make enough sauce for tomorrow, but only used enough shrimp for tonight's meal. I'll add more shrimp tomorrow... - 8/22/10
  • SPICYCINNAMON
     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

     This was delicious! I doubled the garlic and the pepper flakes though. - 2/21/10

     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.

     My hubby made this for dinner tonight - so yummy! He omitted the butter and increased the red pepper flakes to 2 teaspoons, so it was very spicy, but so good! I'll definitely try this one again, but I think I'll try it with spaghetti squash instead of the pasta to make it even better! - 6/1/10
  • OLIVERSMOM2
     I like it alot of spice so I added more red pepper, but this was incredibly delicious and filling. - 10/25/09
  • TALLGIRLX3
     This was really good! I loved it... but I need to be careful next time with the red pepper flakes. I added extra, but i have no idea how much. It set us on fire (but we like spicy). Will definately make again! - 10/20/10
  • PRETTIMANDI
     I didn't have white wine or chicken broth so I used beef broth, and it still came out wonderful! So easy to make! - 1/8/10
  • BANANNA38
     Great Video! Looks yummy Chef Meg! I'm going to try this! - 8/3/09
  • LADYPHOENIX61
     I've made this before but for shrimp and grits. I'll try it with the pasta. I'm sure it will be just as good... - 11/29/10
