I used Rotoni instead of penne pasta because that's what I had. Also took out the green peppers. This is so flexible and easy! Very good and actually healthy, pretty impressive

This was the first recipe tried from this website and my husband still asks me to make almost weekly. This is a definite hit in our house!

My whole family loved it! I didn't have green peppers, and it still tasted great.

My husband and I really like this recipe, it was quick and easy to make and seems like it could be a recipe that you could change up to suit your tastes. Look forward to making it again really soon! Delish~~

The recipe was very simple to make. I'm not a big fan of peppers, but with this recipe they didn't seem as bad. =] Recipe was a fun twist on pasta at our house. Salsa was great.

I thought this recipe was great. It tasted wonderful, was easy to make, and reheated well. I think I probably used more salsa than the recipe calls for, but I wanted a lot of sauce.

This recipe is so easy and absolutely delicious. You can use different salsas to change the taste. I used a green chili salsa with corn and black beans and it was AMAZING!!!
