This was a VERY seductive pasta dish......we had it for supper tonight and both of us thoroughly enjoyed it! The combination of sausage, garlic and chilli flakes was wonderful......and the vodka gives it a bit of a kick! I knew we would love this dish when I picked it for the Aussie/NZ Recipe Swap #9, and I was totally RIGHT! Thanks! FT N.B. I am about to travel back to England - I did take photos, but I will post them later - my laptop and camera are packed!

This was a fantastic and easy dish that we really enjoyed for our 'Valentine's Day supper. The perfect amount of sauce and pasta and the right amount of heat! I did use fat free half and half rather than heavy cream to save some fat and calories. All in all this was a delicious meal that dh really enjoyed. Thanks Crafty!

This is a really good recipe. My husband and I both LOVED it. I used a bit less pasta then the recipe called for to make the sauce go further. Yum!

DH and I made this penne for lunch yesterday. It was certainly easy to make and came together quickly. Like another reviewer, I used hot Italian sausage and then cut down a bit on the red pepper flakes. We thought it tasted good, but the taste of the sausage overpowered the sauce a bit for us. If it was a little saucier, perhaps I wouldnt have had that problem. Thanks for a nice lunch.

Yum! I really liked this recipe, something a bit different. It really needs the chili to pick it up a little bit. I agree you could easily use spicy sausage. Thanks!

Extra, Extra Delicious! This was quick and easy and fantastic! Just the thing to make when you are hankering for pasta! I only had tomato puree on hand so I used it instead of crushed and it turned out great! Fabulous served with a Casa D'Angelo Salad ()As far as I am concerned, you can't go wrong with Vodka If you still have not tried this Crafty Lady, I highly recommend it!

What a great recipe. Yummo, the Italian sausage gives this a lovely sweet/spiciness and the vodka just lifts it to another level. Just scrumptious and one I will make again and again. Thanks for posting.
