Reviews
Interesting concept and while I’m a big fan of Ree, this one is a miss on the recipe. My husband said it tasted like a Just-OK macaroni and cheese made with fusilli and pepper jack. So much for all the work roasting and chopping the peppers. I didn’t care much for it either. Definitely will not make this again.
Definitely not bad but not really good either. This just isn’t a good combination for pasta. It tasted like I put green salsa on rotini. You need to add citrus at the end for balance. Wouldn’t make again.
Delicious! I served over poached chicken. It is a little spicy if you have sensitive guests.
This was awesome. First time I roasted my own peppers. Delicious!!
