olive oil parmesan pasta w/ red pepper flakes
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.
