Fettuccini w/ Cod Fra Diavolo
This is such a good dish that it is truly worth the effort of making your own pasta (unless of course you live near a specialty shop that offers gourmet pastas). If you omit the fish this would make a delicious vegan entrée. The roasted red pepper pasta is really the star of this dish but you can certainly use store-bought fettuccini or any pasta you prefer if you don't have the time to make homemade pasta.If shrimp and cod aren't your favorite fish substitute them for whatever fish you like that cook quickly such as scallops, lobster, crab, salmon or tilapia for example.
