I'm not so sure how good this recipe would be if you followed the instructions to a tee, however I used the directions as a diving board and added my own two-cents. I used half of the penne suggested, but the full amount of olive oil. I also kept the amounts of garlic, parsely and black pepper the same. I quadrupled the amount of sun dried tomato, and added two freshly sliced mushrooms. After I sauteed the mix and added the pasta, I then added about 2 Tbsp fresh basil. The end result was phenomenal. Thank you for the stepping stone!

This is good and has potential to be a 5. I use more sun dried tomatoes and I use sliced and quartered fresh Roma tomatoes as well. Like others, I think that it definitely is either too much pasta or too little tomato as written. I omit the red pepper flakes. We like to use the Kraft 3 cheese (asiago, parmesan and romano) to sprinkle on top. Add cubed, cooked chicken and you have meal!

Not bad! The whole box of penne pasta ended up being a bit too much. Also, had to use several sun dried tomatos - two just kind of get lost in that much pasta! I also ended up putting in a bit of garlic powder - the three cloves were barely noticible. Also will be using a bit more olive oil next time. Pretty good overall though! Thank you! :)

I really like this one, the garlic gets nice and hot if you have leftovers the next day. Its now one of my most favorite. One thing I like to do is make the pasta get darkened in the pan. Yummy yum yum Marcel H.

Thought it tasted good; my husband thought it was a little dry though. It was super easy to throw together, and we liked the flavor.

Great side dish. I served mine with grilled herb chicken and steamed broccoli. I used whole wheat pasta and fresh italian parsley. I also sauteed the pasta in the pan with the oil and herbs for a few minutes to "crisp" it a little.Excellent!!!!!

I followed the recipe exactly how it states and it turned out well. The red pepper flakes definitely gave it a kick and was a hit to my dinner guests.

I really love this recipe. It is so easy. I did adjust a bit. I added a lot more julianned dried tomato, also mushrooms and small broccoli flourettes. This is just an awesome recipe for a single gal like me. I only used half a box of mini penne and will have enough for another dinner and a lunch. Yummy!! Thanks for this recipe!

This could be a 5 star dish with anyones own ideals, First I would not and did not use the whole pkg of pasta, I used more garlic than called for, I also used fresh greenbeans instead of sun dried tomatoes, and I added some shrimp I also went a little heavy on the pepper. My dish came out great and full of flavor. 5 stars !!!! I only rated it 4 stars for the orign recipe great start though thanks.
