I've made this several times and we love it! I dont put much carrot in--and instead of the red peper flakes I add a chopped jalepeno pepper

My husband and picky 2 1/2 year old both loved this recipe. I've made it several times, and it's still a big hit.

This recipe is amazing! It is definately enough for 8 people and then some. The variety of flavors are evident in each bite making the dish very enjoyable. I took the leftovers in to work and everyone begged for the recipe. Nice for a summer picnic.

This recipe was very good - I used whole wheat pasta - I think this recipe would also be good with chicken

I used grated carrots to reduce the cost. Have made it 3 times and it has been requested for large fund raisers in our small community. It's a hit.D.Mikota
