I liked the sound of this recipe so I gave it a try with what I had at home. I wanted to make this as healthy as possible so I used whole wheat penne instead of bow tie pasta. I didn't have fresh herbs so I used dried. I think I should have used less than what the recipe calls for for the fresh herbs. The dish came out a little too spicy. Aside from that I will try some variations in the future like the other reviewers mentioned. Definitely worth trying and is easy to make if your short on time.

Everyone seems to either love or hate this sauce. My whole family loved it! The flavors of the honey and balsamic complement the natural sweetness and tang of the red peppers perfectly. Based on the reviews stating it was lacking some depth, I added 2 cloves garlic, 1 shredded carrot, and one diced celery.

This is a great recipe! We have made it as a main dish with chicken. I would double the recipe if you want to use it as a main dish. I also added red pepper flakes. I skipped the fresh parsley. I love parsley but I don't like it with this sauce.

Not too hard to make, good taste. Didn't make as much as I thought it would.

Not at all what I was expecting. The combination of vinegar and honey made this dish a sweet and sour sauce. I didn't think that blended well with the red peppers at all. I wouldn't even try to tweek this recipe.

This was TASTEEEE! It was a nice twist the regular tomato sauce. Next time, after I puree the sauce which I'll probably make more of, too - I plan to put it back in the pot and add Italian Sausage to spice it up even more! Husband and 2 year old ate it all up! Thanks!
