This was a recipe with a few "first". First time I've cooked with red peppers, first time I've used rigatoni, and the first time I looked at a recipe and thought "it looks so good but the recipe is soooo lacking". So off to work I went. I looked over the recipe and made changes as I saw fit. Here's what I came up with. So spicy. So good.
