This fabulous, easy pasta has become a holiday tradition at Ellen Fiore's home in Ridgewood, New Jersey. "All the prep is done before we attend Christmas Eve service. On returning, I just boil water and saute. It's so colorful with a tossed salad and garlic bread-and always gets raves!” she adds.

I used fresh pasta and cheese. I also added extra crushed red pepper as we like things a little spicier than most people. Great recipe - I'll be making it again.

This was a nice simple dish to make. I followed another reader's suggestion to add a squeeze of lemon juice prior to serving and a drizzle of high quality extra virgin olive oil.

Shimp needs a little butter for flavor and maybe a squeeze of lemon juice as an acid. Melt the butter with the olive oil and finish the dish off with lemon juice.

I found the vegetables were very tasty. My shrimp was bland but that was my fault. My son doesn't like shrimp so I added to the finished meal. He did, however, have 2 servings of the pasta and vegetables.

I don't know, this had NO taste whatsoever. With all the chopping I did it was so not worth it. It was just blah.

Instead of peppers in this recipe, try cutting up some green onions, with a bit of the top. Or add chopped up (seeded) tomatoes or small pieces of brocolli. Different possibilities are endless and I think that I may try this one. I love shrimp and pasta!

This recipe was great! We left out the bell peppers since we don't usually like them and it was still very tasty. Even my picky kids ate it.
