A wonderful combination of flavors to excite even the most discerning of palates! A spicy tomato sauce served at room temperature over hot pasta and topped with feta cheese. Goat cheese also goes well with this sauce.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste. Next time I'll use less red pepper flakes.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my sauce turned out really watery. Maybe I didn't cook it long enough?

I used a different type of pasta than the one called for in the recipe, and it turned out great. This dish is very versatile.

I added some chopped sun-dried tomatoes to the sauce for a little extra flavor. It was a great addition!

This is a great recipe for a quick and easy weeknight meal. The sauce comes together in just a few minutes and the pasta cooks in no time.

I'm not a big fan of shrimp, but the sauce in this dish was so creamy and flavorful that I didn't even miss the shrimp!

I followed the recipe to the letter and the dish was too spicy for us. I would suggest using less red pepper flakes next time.

Not a huge fan of the dish. I thought the sauce was a bit bland and the shrimp were overcooked.
