Good, but nothing extraordinary. The spice level was good, but the flavors didn't really pop. I might try adding a touch of sugar next time to balance the acidity.

This was a delicious and easy weeknight meal. I added a bit more red pepper flakes for extra spice, and it was perfect. The linguine cooked up nicely too.
