This pasta is amazing! My fiance and I make it all the time...I usually just have shrimp in my half, and he has chicken (he doesn't like seafood). We use 10% cream instead of heavy cream and still get the same creaminess with less fat. Also, we ALWAYS use fresh parsley...it gives it a wonderful taste.

Loved this recipe!I did cut back on the black pepper and omitted the white pepper(just because I didn't have it).My sauce thickened up perfectly and the whole family loved it. Also,added mushrooms just because I love them.

This is a total favorite. I make only a few alterations...a splash of wine here and there and I use a frozen seafood blend from Trader Joes that contains shrimp, scallops and calamari. Absolutely fabulous dish. thanks

Per others' suggestions, I sauteed the scallops and shrimp in cajun seasoning and garlic and added them to the sauce at the very end. I also used dried herbs instead of fresh, and I'm not sure if my calculations were off or not, but it was a little too "herby." Next time I'll use fresh. Finally, it was just a little too hot, I think largely because of too much black pepper. I'll scale it down next time. But essentially a very good recipe.

Now I know why I never use heavy cream...it's sinfully delicious. This pasta is now on my top 10 recipes list. I did make some changes. I used 1/2 the amount of peppers (kids had to eat it, by the way they loved it too). 1/2 cup parsley, 1/2 cup green bell pepper and 1 clove garlic. I didn't have enough swiss cheese so I added mozzarella cheese. My sauce thickened up just fine for me. However, I did save some of the pasta water just in case. I did use the pasta water the next day when reheating the pasta for my husband's lunch. Thanks for such a great recipe.

This was great. I made it valentines day for my boyfriend and he had no complaints, and neither did I. I want to do this again because I messed up on one of the ingredients. I would also like to make it a little spicier!

I liked it very well. I listened to other reviews who stated this recipe was very hot, so I cut the red pepper and black pepper in half. Used fresh italian parsley and dried for the rest (due to availablity). Did not have white pepper so omitted and other reviews stated to do this. Used a six italian cheese blend and parmesean as stated by the recipe (I added a little more than called for). Used sea salt. I loved the taste, but my hubby did not. Next time I will follow the recipe to the tee and use all the peppers and not cut it in half. Will try it again, but for my friends and not the hubby.

Wonderful! I modified to make a little healthier. Used 1/4 cup cream, 1/4 cup milk and 1/2 cup of tomato sauce. I omitted the swiss and topped with a dusting of parmesan instead. Served with whole wheat pasta.

This recipe was very good. I didn't have heavy cream so I used Campbell's condensed soup instead and mixed it with some water. It turned out very good. Will definitely do again.

This was an absolute winner! My boyfriend got 4 helpings (no joke). And this was the first time cooking for his mother and she really liked it also (whew!). I used less (about half) red pepper flakes and used a cayenne/paprika/garlic salt equal part mix (total of 1 1/2 tbl sp) and that seemed to create that perfect kick while not overpowering the flavor. I also doubled the seafood. Don't skip the fresh herbs - it's worth it!

This is a family favorite around our house. I used a cajun seasoning recipe from this site which makes this dish very spicy, which can be adjusted to your liking. This is a great basic cream sauce that is so easy and can be used in many other ways!

I made this for my husband last year for Valentines day and it was delicious! Though I may add that it is super spicy, and I love spicy food. You may want to cut back on the amount of red crushed pepers if you dont like it that spicy. But, so good that I will be making it again soon for the in-laws.

I made this for my husband last night. I followed the recipe almost exact. I omitted the white pepper and the addtional half tsp of red pepper flakes. Believe me it was plenty spicy (and my husband LOVES spicy). It came out perfect! Definitely restaurant quality in flavor and presentation. Rest assured I will make this again. I highly recommend anyone considering making this recipe, go for it....you'll be happy you did!

I tweaked the recipe and made this for myself and my college friends, and we loved it! Since we wanted something with more of an Alfredo taste, I simply added about 1 cup more of cream and more mozzarella and Parmesan cheese-don't use the Swiss!!! Also, I sauteed the onions and added mushrooms in about 1/4 cup of butter, and then added the whipping cream, etc. I reduced the pepper amounts and enjoyed the lighter amount. Also, dried basil and thyme worked fine. I was worried about cooking the shrimp all the way through, so I sauteed that in butter, set it aside, and added it in the end. I did the same thing with chicken chunks. Very delicious

Had I not taken other users suggestions, I would have rated this 2 stars simply because it was far too spicy (and we LOVE spicy food!)and would have been inedible! I halved all three peppers, added 3 gloves of garlic and thinned the sauce before adding the shrimp and scallops with a few tablespoons of pasta water (don't bother with the milk and cornstarch suggestions, it's an unnecessary step and will cause clumping.) I bought a bunch of fresh parsley, which didn't come to a full cup (/3/4 cup) and it was just fine. Lastly, I always have a hard time figuring out which part of the green onion to use because I was told the top part is for garnishing, the bottom for cooking. I bought a bunch of onions (4 or 5 to bunch) and chopped them all (tops and bottoms), which was the perfect amount. Next time, I will add some tomatoes or mushrooms for more variety. I might reduce the amt of parsley to 1/2 cup as well because it was too much. Wonderful recipe, thanks for sharing!
