This afternoon my friend Scott dropped by for a visit. I was busy preparing a creamy spinach soup and soon we were...
I used a whole wheat blend of pasta/spaghetti. I cut back some on the olive oil and used smart balance blend instead of butter. I also only used 1 tsp of the crushed red pepper for my children's palate and it seemed fine. I usually save some of my pasta water as a way to decrease the stickiness of my pasta if it has to sit around while I am finishing some other part of the recipe, which I added and didn't seem to diminish the flavor of the dish. Everyone liked it.
