I made this and it was really good. I added an extra 1/2 cup of cream, 1 cup mozzarella, green and red peppers, onion, cayenne pepper, and some garlic herb seasoning and it turned out awesome. You can definitely play around with this recipe.

Just finished preparing and enjoying this delicious dish, made as instructed. I was tempted to add this or that, but wanted to try it as is, and am so, so happy I did.

I also like, very much, the speediness of this video and the full list of ingredients and directions below the video. Thank you very much for the work on this video and for sharing the recipe.

When you boil pasta water, once the pasta is near done, take about a 1/4 cup of the water, which is saturated with starchy goodness. This will provide for some additional body to your sauce. When making a cream sauce, make sure it's "Heavy Cream" none of that Half&Half fakery. High fat content lends excellent flavor, and holds up better when under heat. A broken cream sauce is no laughing matter..
Allow the sauce to reduce by half. Add the cooked pasta to the sauce/veggie mixture..the pasta should be coated with the cream, but not clumpy or appear dry (as in the vid). Finish with some chopped basil/parsley, juice of a lemon. Serve with some french bread or slice of garlic bread.

Thank me later :)

Made this without the bacon and with more cream. Really tasty easy recipe

I made this exactly as written with one small change: I substituted two 14oz cans of Italian diced tomatoes (drained) in lieu of the fresh, because I was short on time. It was really good and a huge hit at my house! Definitely something I'll make again.

As a bonus, it'd be easy to customize this recipe if you want it spicier or cheesier, or if you want to add more veggies, or maybe add some sweet (or hot) Italian sausage or something. Lots of possibilities!

This works nicely with mushrooms too, also add more cream than it says here, otherwise it is a bit dry :)
