    Altered ingredient amounts:

    Very tasty! I found that a whole pcak of Linguine was too much for the sauce/vegetables. I recommend only cooking half the apcket or else doubling the rest. I used half and it came out very nice.

    Used different ingredients:

    Loved it, my daughter & I ate most of it ourselves. It figures that on the day I go to get red peppers ...they have none. I used 1 yellow & 1 green pepper, it looked wonderful! I did use double olive oil, YUM!

    Review: Tina

    Great dish! I made it low fat by omitting the butter and using less oil. I would also recommend either doubling the veggies, or cutting the pasta amount in half. Thanks for the recipe!
