I'm not a big fan of red peppers, but this dish was still really good. The sauce was creamy and flavorful and the pasta was cooked perfectly. I would definitely make this again, but I would probably use a different type of pepper.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover beef. I used a flank steak that I had grilled the night before. The pasta was delicious and the sauce was very flavorful. I would definitely recommend this recipe.
