This meal was rated as restaurant-quality by my husband. It was incredibly easy, quick and delicious. We substituted whole wheat linguine, used only 2 tsp of the crushed red pepper, and used Gulf shrimp fresh off the boat. I was a little worried about using so much garlic, but the flavors were perfectly balanced. This will definitely be a go-to recipe for us.

This was awesome! I added double the sauce and used about 1 1/2 cups of the pasta water. It was a little spicy for some of my guests. I think next time I will only use about 1 tbl of the red peppers. They get really hot when you cook them. All in all this one is great with a little tweak.

If there was away I could take stars away I would. I followed the recipe to the T it tasted like spicy tomato sauce with garlic. I stopped watching his show years ago, when he was cooking something and said " Anyone can make this unless your a cripple or something. " Well I only use 1 hand and I object to that comment. Guess it was mistake to try his recipes again.

3rd time I've tried it and its great. 3 T spoons of red peppers is too much for my taste so I use 1.5 and that's plenty of heat.

I used 2 lbs. of mussels instead of shrimp, 1/2 lb. of linguine, 3 tsps. of red pepper flakes and homemade sauce. If you're in a rush, use a good bottled sauce and if you like, add more herbs--basil, oregano, thyme, etc.. Next time I'll add another teaspoon of red pepper to kick it up a little more. It helps to have a seafood or chicken broth handy and a splash of wine. The broth extends the sauce. Use a lid to keep it from reducing too much. If you like shrimp (more comfort-style, try Emeril's "Gulf Shrimp au gratin." It's also simple and absolutely divine.

One and one-half cups of tomato sauce is not enough. I used a 26-oz jar and still could use a little more. Be sure to add the shrimp to the sauce no earlier than two minutes before adding the pasta. I used spaghetti and could have cooked it a little longer before adding to the skillet. Very tasty, would make again and for company. I wonder if I could replace shrimp with calamari.

It was good, but next time I'll use a homemade tomato sauce.

Very yummy and spicy too! But not overwhelmingly hot. The ingredients were simple and common and the dish was very easy to make. A different and welcome change from the standard dish! Even my 12 year old loved it.
