This is another staple in our dinner menu rotation. We love this pasta dish because it is so simple yet delicious. The red pepper flakes really allow you to control the “kick” of the dish, so add more if you enjoy a bit more spice. It is excellent as leftovers as well. I don’t have much else to say about it except that we love it!
