Great recipe. I cooked it in 1/2 olive oil and 1/2 butter. Also cooked with fresh minced garlic instead of garlic salt. I also added an extra can of diced tomato, 2 small cans of tomato sauce, and one can of tomato paste. For more veggies, add some fire roasted bell peppers (sliced) and fresh spinach. Cut down to less than one tablespoon of red pepper flakes. I love crab meat so I added several cans of lump crab meat at the end of the cooking time. Delicious!

Delicious! I also chose to use EVOO (only needed a few tblspns) and added fresh basil. I used Hot Pepper Sauce instead of Chili flakes because I didn't have any, and chilpolte flavored diced tomatoes. I would make this again!

I took everyone's advice and cut the red pepper flakes back (to taste) and I used minced garlic reduced down with EVOO. I used italian style stewed tomatoes and put a small amount of heavy whipping cream in the mix and it was delicious!!! I made it one other time with some spicy shredded chicken, it too was tasty. I think this is a good base for many variations. Thank you so much for this recipe.

This was pretty good. I cut way back on the red pepper flakes, and it was too rich for us, so next time I will use less butter.

I used rotini noodles and ground red pepper, instead of flakes. Still spicy and I probably only used 1 T of red pepper. Next time I'll try EVOO just to save myself some calories and also use less pasta...only cooking for two. Love the simplicity and how quick this was to make!

This was delicious! I have to watch my cholesterol, so I subbed E.V.O.O. for the butter, left out the salt, added chopped bell pepper, finely diced cilantro, and used minced garlic in place of the garlic salt. Oh, and I upped the amount of red pepper flakes, 'cause I like spice! Very well done, Brighteyz, thanks!

Good 15 minute dinner recipe. I used shredded crab, next time I will use lump crab meat. Made a couple of modifications, added 1-1/2 tablespoons of EVOO to the sauce. Used finely diced garlic instead of garlic powder, added 1/2 teaspoon of fresh basil and 1/2 teaspoon of fresh oregano. Used Ro-Tel mexican diced tomatoes with jalapenos, perfect heat, no red pepper required!

Very good and easy to make. I used about half of the crushed red pepper that is called for to cut down on the heat. I normally like things pretty spicy, but this keeps the heat from overpowering the delicate flavor of the crab.
