Sounds delicious.  I would just use whole wheat pasta and no hot pepper added.  But that's me.

This sounds great! Going to add chicken and maybe substitute the olives for some other veggie or use black olives.

Looks tasty!  I'd like to suggest that you make the recipes printable - people are more likely to use them that way.
