Fire and Ice Pasta with Fresh Herbs

This was fabulous. The only reason I am giving 4 stars is because I find the amount of oil in this recipe to be over the top. To each, his/her own, but to those looking to lower the fat and calories - I made a 4-5 serving of this with only 1/4 cup and it is still amazing. :) Thanks for a great recipe!

Very nice pasta. I really didn't have 5 1/2 pounds of tomatoes, so I just used what I had and then adjusted the rest accordingly. I was using the last of my sun dried tomatoes in the jar (I couldn't tell if it wanted them in oil or just dried--I used the ones in oil) so I used the remainder of the oil in the jar wtih the tomatoes as well. I just decreased the olive oil I put in. I only sprinkled red pepper flakes (1 tspn wouldve been too much for us) and used green olives with pimento, not sliced so hubs could eat around them as he doesn't like olives. We used fusilli pasta for this, and I just put in enough olive oil to make the sauce oily enough to stir. All in all, I guess I changed several things but the main change was the amount of tomatoes and olive oil. This still was lovely with fusili pasta, and we have some leftovers to eat this weekend. Thanks for the recipe!

I did use the feta (my family just loves this Greek Cheese). I did omit the olives and added 1/2 chopped orange pepper.

LOVED, LOVED, LOVED this! I used mini penne because that's what the little guy chose, reduced the olive oil to 1/2 cup, per other reviews, which was perfect for us, and used 3 LARGE tomatoes (not sure of the weight, but I know it wasn't 5-1/2 pounds). The flavors of this were outstanding! As soon as hubby took a bite he said, 'Oh, this is a definate 5 stars'! He also said that he will be asking for this often, and that's fine with me because it's simple to make and FANTASTIC~YUM! IMO, the feta is a MUST! Thanks for sharing. :)
