This was really easy and quick to make! My fiance and I really liked it. Instead of red peppers from a jar, I sauteed fresh red pepper in olive oil with a little bit of Italian seasoning and crushed red pepper. I paired it with home made bruschetta.

This recipe was good and easy to make, but we felt that it was a little dry. I did substitute the red bell peppers with broccoli, and my husband thought it was a good idea!
