very good
the sauce was very tasty! i used whole wheat angel hair making it even more nutritious! i also sprinkled some red pepper flakes on top with the parmesan cheese which gave it a little kick. the only thing i would change, is less pasta. 12 oz uncooked makes WAY too much for only 4 servings and it spread the sauce a little thin. will definately make this again! oh & the photo pictured with the recipe is NOT what it looks like, there is no broccoli or other veggies etc in this recipe
