Love it! Easy to make & very tasty. I left out the peanuts, just because we didn't want them, & served it with linguine.

Easy, tasty and everyone liked it! I was looking for a recipe to use up some green beans and found this. I had everything on hand except for the red pepper. I used about 5 cloves of garlic and thought it had a good flavor. I don't think it's terribly "sweet" or "spicy" but I do think it's a keeper. Great for weeknights too.
