This dish received 5 stars from each of my children and disappointing grumbles when they found out there were no leftovers. I love the fact that it was so easy to whip together yet it tastes like something that took a bit of fussing. I will definitely be adding this to my pasta cookbook so I have it as a go to recipe. Though the tarragon works really well with this, you could easily alter the herbs and spices and totally change the dish to fit your mood. Thanks for sharing ms. fabulous.
