    "I have never made a meal in my life and this was my first one and I absolutely NAILED IT!!! I doubled the recipe because my family eats a lot and they all loved it! The only tip I have is if you double the recipe is to cut down on the butter, other than that it was absolutely ‘tasty’! 😉😂😋"

    "Be careful with the crushed red peppers! I only put half of what the recipe asked and it was a bit spicy! So beware.."

    "Next time I won’t use the crushed red peppers, it was a little to spicy for my hubby. I will definitely add more spinach"

    "Really amazing! I agree red chili flakes can be a bit of a spice. I felt it, but my husband didn’t. Great pasta."

    "I made a bigger serving size with more shrimp and noodles than suggested and used my discretion to add a little more seasoning. The recipe was really easy to follow and took me only 20mins! I had fun cooking it and it turned out bomb!!! I’m very happy with the results of this recipe, even made me join the app!!!"
