    It was good...I added fresh garlic, salt and pepper and pasta water...was really good after that....I dunno if I would make it again though...i dont like the taste of the oil so much...maybe use regular olive oil for lighter taste?

    I was pleasantly surprised that I liked this recipe. The only recommendation I would have is to save the pasta water!! Add a little bit after everything is combined, it adds that much needed moisture to the dish. Otherwise it was quite tasty, I substituted cheese and garlic croutons and it turned out great :

    LOVED IT! Added a green salad to the meal. It was a hit!

    I altered a few things because I felt the original recipe needed more moisture and flavor. So I added 1/3 cup of the starch water from the pasta with the olive oil. I then added marinated artichoke hearts in olive oil, and finally I topped it with some crumbled feta cheese! So Delicious! Note: Giada says it doesn't need salt and pepper but I think it does. I also added garlic powder into the crouton mixture before blending it! Turned out great! I will definitely make this recipe again!

    This just isn't a good recipe. Pass on it. There's so many more to chose from -- Giada's or otherwise.

    I dont know what to think of this recipe. Its not gross to me, but there is just something about it i do not like. Its something to say for me because i LOVE pasta and ive never had a pasta dish i didnt like. Maybe instead of using jarred roasted red peppers, roast a red pepper yourself. I think i am tasting the oil the peppers come in when you buy them.

    I saw this recipe and decided to try a variation as I did not have all the ingredients available. I only had garlic and cheese croutons so I used them instead. Since the croutons had cheese, I did not add the almonds. Instead of the red peppers, I added broccoli instead. I have yet to make the original recipe because the modified version turned out sooo delicious and became a favorite.

    You can always take a concept of a recipe and make it with what you like best!

    This is a wonderful dish, not meant to be made with runny sauce. Love the red peppers, only thing I did extra was to "toast" the almonds in a bit of butter.
