I made this for my 1st wedding anniversary as a suprise to my husband. We loved it. I did add sundried tomatos to this recipe and added a little more extra light virgin olive oil. I used the larger penne pasta and it turned out very close to the dish my husband and I love of two restuarants. I might suggest that you could add some stir fried chicken to this. It will give it a bit more flavor or substance if you use it as the main dish of a meal. Thank you again for this great recipe.
