    I agree with one of the other reviewers in that the dish is actually better the next day. But that doesn't mean that it's not great right out of the pan!

    For those who complain that it was too hot as is, you need to recall that Guy warns you up front that he likes it spicy and that you should cut back on the spices if you're not a fan of heat. So why complain? You were warned...

    And for those of you who never took the time to try the recipe as written but decided that you knew better and substituted ingredients, don't blame the recipe when it doesn't turn out. You need to man up and take the blame. It's your fault. Not Guy's...

    And for those of you who said that the BBQ sauce was too over powering, again, you chose the sauce. Not Guy. So don't blame him...

    And those who are pompus enough to not even try the recipe before trashing it, get a life. I don't care how much you think you know, you don't. You're only fooling yourselves...

    The dish is great! Deal with it.

    Watched this episode with my son-in-law we both agreed it look great. Made this the next weekend for my daughter and son-in-law and we all loved it. Followed the recipe exactly, easy to make and the taste is perfect. Has a bite but not to overpowering that you can't enjoy all the flavors. Will make again for friends and family.

    I saw this episode and knew right away my husband would love it! I tried it tonight, super easy to make, I followed recipe exact except I only used 1 chipolte pepper (they have a lot of heat, one is plenty with the sausage and all the other spices! My husband said it was one of the BEST meals ever! He had 3 plates full! He likes a little spice so it was right up his alley. I thought it was very delicious, a little too much heat for me but not overpowering and I used spicy beef hot links. Oh and the roma tomatoes, scallions and extra parm really makes this meal!!!

    My husband very rarely says much about recipes besides it was good. After makeing this Penne recipe, he said three times that he really liked it. So I had to make a comment on your recipe. Thanks-

    Chipotle, hot links, cayenne & red pepper flakes! Way too hot. I left out the cayenne & pepper flakes. Used a smokey/sweet BBQ sauce and fresh garlic. Even my fire-breathing husband said this was too hot with the hot links & chipotle. I will make the sauce again for chicken or steak, minus the cayenne & pepper flakes as it was very good.

    I made this recipe after seeing it on Guy's show. But I read some of the reviews and decided to reduce the amount of barbecue sauce specified to 1 cup vs. 1 1/2 cups. The pasta comes out beautifully. I love the sauce though I would reduce the amount of barbeque sauce some more or use a barbecue sauce that is less on sugar side (more tangy.

    The leftovers, however, when reheated the next day tastes delicious. The sweetness of the barbecue sauce was almost non-existent.

    I will definitely make this dish again trying a different barbeque sauce (with a lower sugar base content. I used Sweet Baby Rays Barbeuce sauce.

    Guy, we (including my husband and kids love your show. We think your a fresh personality on the food network.

    Folks, don't rate the recipe unless you have really made the food. People like me really count on the reviews as they are very informative. If you don't like Guy, then don't watch the show and don't rate the recipes. We don't need to hear from you.

    I felt that there was a bit too much BBQ sauce for the recipe to be considered anything but...American, however, it was tasty. I think I'll put more tomatoes in it next time, I felt that really pulled out some of the flavors in the sauce and added a great texture.

    Since this recipe first aired, I have been making this almost monthly! I love the flavors and being able to up the heat from the adobo's depending on my mood. Ive also started making the chipolte sauce ahead of time and allowing about 10 minutes to sit after the whole dish has been put together!
