Olive oil Parmesan Pasta w/ red pepper flakes image

If you like it a little hot, then you'll love this dish. I get requests for this a lot. You can eliminate the crushed pepper if you'd like, still makes a great tasty dish. You need not worry about extact measures. Add more or less of any of these ingredients .. it won't hurt the recipe at all.

This was a quick and easy weeknight meal. I used whole wheat pasta and added some chopped spinach to the sauce. It was a healthy and delicious meal that the whole family enjoyed.
