It's a good base recipe for sure. I made this last night and I'm actually surprised I haven't seen any other comments to this effect. This is the first pasta cream sauce recipe I've seen that used 1/2 & 1/2 instead of heavy cream. I used jarred roasted peppers which was much easier & faster. The flavor was great with a little salt & pepper. I did find though that because of the 1/2 & 1/2 that it was a little thinner than my taste, so I think I'll do as some others and use flour in the middle or add corn starch to thicken it more. In general, it's a great taste & nice to have something different that the usual white sauces. I added more cheese to try & thicken it a little...which didn't really work, but I also didn't like the added flavor of cheese when I really wanted to taste only the pepper taste. Just FYI in case you think of it.
