I made this tonight for dinner. I substituted a few ingredients due to taste of family members. Banana peppers for jalapeño peppers. Vandalia onions for red onions. Roasted garlic for fresh garlic. Putting everything together seemed a bit fast paced. It didn’t take as long as I thought it would. The result was worth it. The Spinach fettuccine was very good & everyone loved it. The cream sauce wasn’t very tasty looking but it was delicious! Thanks for a great new dish! Kathy

This is a great recipe! I love this pasta and I think I may have made it better than CPK!

This was really good! It is realatively simple to make and the flavors are great. I used one whole jalepeno, seeds and all, and it was just enough spice to let you know that it was there but not hot enough to make it inedible. **Side note, Be careful when handling chile peppers. I forgot to wash my hands after chopping it. I rubbed my eyes and you would have thought someone was killing me!!** The colorful bell peppers add a nice touch to make it appealing to the eye too. I took the left overs to work and shared them with my office staff. The boss asked for the recipe! Overall, this is a very easy, tasty recipe that I will most definately make again!

Great Dish! I could not locate any spinach fettuccine so I had to use plain but other than that, made it "as is" and wow - what a great meal!! Do not leave out the fresh cilantro on top - I missed it in the beginning and the taste difference between with and without is huge. This one is a keeper!
