would make a little differentDecember 17, 2008By jillians_mommy
"i made this recipe for supper tonight. i added half a green, half an orange and half a red pepper instead of just one green pepper. i also added 4 garlic cloves. and used Italian flavored stewed tomatoes. and i had no wine so i didnt add any. it could have been more juicy.. there wasn't enough to cover the pasta.. maybe because i didnt add the wine.. it was just ok. i might make this again, but will add wine and probably diced tomatoes not stewed next time"
