Really easy but fabulous dish and everyone loved it including my 3 year old twin granddaughters. Really the only change I made to this other than doubling the sauce was to throw in some shrimp and for about the last 4 minutes of simmering. I served it over Dreamfield’s Linguini which made this recipe about 8 grams of digestible carbs per serving. From start to finish you can have an elegant meal on the table in less than 30 minutes. Thanks for the great recipe Greg!

<p>I'm a recently retired San Diego trial attorney and wanna-be professional chef-restauranteur. Why am I so passionate about cooking? I don't know. What I do know is that those who don't cook are missing out on one of life's truly enjoyable experiences! I have a collection of whimsical signs posted above my workbench at home, one of which states: Love people. Cook them tasty food. How true.</p>
