This is a pretty good pasta sauce for those who like it a bit mild. I prefer a heartier pasta sauce and expected the sun dried tomatoes and red pepper flakes to take over in this recipe, but the cream dulled the flavor too much for my tastes. I am going to try again with this recipe and add more/different spices to see if that gives me the taste I was looking for. Thanks!

Wonderful quick and easy dinner. I used home made sun dried tomatoes and roasted peppers (something I usually have in the house) so it was perfect for a quick meal. We added extra red pepper flakes because we like things spicy. Thanks for sharing.

Good recipe. Try adding some shrimp during the simmering time. I also tried it with Rotini pasta. Holds on to the sauce better, I think...
