Used different ingredients. I discovered my sour light cream was expired after I started cooking (oops!), so I 'borrowed' some of my daughters' natural baby yoghurt. It worked really well! - 09 May 2009
Altered ingredient amounts. I used wholemeal pasta for a healthy weeknight meal and a small quantity of jalapeno peppers for heat as I did not have chilli flakes on hand. I used yoghurt instead of sour cream, again because it was what I had on hand. I garnished with fresh avocado and chopped spring onions. I am lucky enough to own a thermomix so that made preparation a breeze. - 18 Feb 2009
This recipe was so simple I was a bit sceptical: but it was delicious! It doesn't take anything like 40mins to make: you can make the pumpkin sauce in the same time it takes to cook the pasta. - 09 May 2009
