Spicy Seafood and Penne image

This great recipe came from a December 1995 issue of Woman's Day magazine. It's so hearty and flavorful - great with garlic bread and a nice green salad.

I'm not a big fan of seafood, but I actually really enjoyed this dish. The sauce was creamy and flavorful, and the seafood was cooked perfectly.

This dish is a bit too spicy for my taste, but it was still very good. I would recommend using less chili flakes next time.
