Olive oil Parmesan Pasta w/ red pepper flakes image

If you like it a little hot, then you'll love this dish. I get requests for this a lot. You can eliminate the crushed pepper if you'd like, still makes a great tasty dish. You need not worry about extact measures. Add more or less of any of these ingredients .. it won't hurt the recipe at all.

I'm not a big fan of Parmesan cheese, so I used grated Asiago cheese instead. It was still very tasty.

This pasta is a great way to get my kids to eat their vegetables. I sneak in some chopped spinach or zucchini, and they never notice.

I've made this pasta with different types of pasta, and it always turns out great. My favorite is to use penne or rotini.

I'm not a huge fan of red pepper flakes, so I omitted them from the recipe. The pasta was still very tasty, and my family loved it.

This pasta is a great way to use up leftover chicken or vegetables. I added some grilled chicken and broccoli to mine, and it was delicious.

I followed the recipe exactly, and the pasta turned out great! I was worried that the red pepper flakes would be too spicy, but they weren't at all.
