The main plus to this recipe is how easy it is to make. Chilli (fresh or dried) make it even better.

We used lighter soft cheese instead of mascarpone which was lovely! Needed a bit of pasta water at the end to loosen it. Added red chillies and onions. Worked out to be very low calorie! A new weekly tea for us.

A family favourite. My husband can't get enough. Easy to make but not filling enough for dinner

This was a very delicious recipe. The only change I made was using homemade gnocchi (and frying it slightly after cooking). It elevated the flavours to another level, incredibly easy and delicious.
