Simple and delicious! Great veggie combination, too! I doubled the recipe (except for the onions) and brought this to work to share with one of my coworkers. She loved it so much that she asked to take home all the leftovers (which surprised me, because I brought it to work forgetting that she doesn't like tomatoes). She didn't even pick out hardly any of the tomatoes! Aside from loving how simple and quick this was, I really liked that it tasted equally good hot or cold. I used whole grain rotini for the pasta, and fire-roasted diced tomatoes. This is a keeper, thanks for posting! Made for PAC Spring '10 :)

I'm a 37 year-old American living in Georgia. I'm a flight attendant. I still prefer "stewardess".

I'm not home as often as I would like to be; but on my days off, you can nearly always find me happily buried in the kitchen.
I am engaged to a wonderful man, who is an exceptional artist. Here's a taste:

Gives a whole new meaning to the thought of having rabbit, doesn't it?
Well, he's a big fan of eating, so I decided to marry him on October 27th, 2008.

We love to watch zombie movies late at night, eat banana pancakes for breakfast, and watch the sunset on the deck while I have a vodka. My darling likes to call this "Playing Russian Spy Flight Attendant".

My prize possessions include my collection of flight attendant wings, my great grandmother's antique star sapphire ring, my Audrey Hepburn Swarovski clutch, and my zombie doll Lenore.
