"Sauce took a really long time to thicken, it wasn't until the next day's leftovers that the flavours really came together and stood out. It was great then, though!..." See more"

"I found this recipe to be quite tasty! The sauce really surprised me: the spices and wine create a mulled-wine tasting base, which the mango and honey sweeten and the pepper kicks up with some spice...." See more The mixture of flavors (along with the cilantro) make each bit a little bit different, in a good way. I would recommend going a little lighter on the cilantro and skip the olives, but that's just my taste. I also made it with chicken (stir fried w/ a few pieces of mango and honey, added the chicken to the sauce just before serving) and found that to make a nice addition."

"This pasta recipe is wonderful. The flavor from the mango mixed with the pepper is so unique and delicious. I use a regular red pepper as opposed to a chile pepper to give it a little less spice, but..." See more it tastes excellent either way. I highly recommend this dish for any occasion."
