"I just got this recipe from my sister in Michigan...she just raved about it and how awesome it tastes. I haven't yet tried it but it sounds very good so I thought I would share with you all. I will post my rating just as soon as I make it myself."

I made this for when my sister and brother-in-law came over for dinner and they loved it! I think it is one of the best pasta dishes I have ever had. I added 3 cloves of chopped garlic and 1 tbalespoon of balsamic vinegar too!
