This was good, but really needed some more flavor to be great. I'd suggest some more fresh herbs (maybe oregano and thyme to go alond with the basil), and a splash of either red wine vinegar or lemon juice at the end. I also found that the wine was not enough liquid to make a sauce, so I added a quarter cup of the pasta water, which helped bring it together. Good potential, but it still needs a little work.
