  1. Very easily prepared, comfort food, filling, and goes a long way, excellent for feeding a hungry family quickly! I didn't have any grape tomatoes for garnish, although they would have been nice. Good dash of parmesan and an enthusiastic grind of black pepper finished this off nicely. Thank you, gailanng, enjoyed this, made for I Recommend recipe tag game.
     
  2. This is delicious - and making it all in one pot is so easy and helpful. I subbed in rice linguine noodles to make it gluten free, and it worked perfectly. I halved the recipe, which made 4 servings for us when served with a salad. Leftovers reheated well the next day. Thanks for sharing!
     
  3. Lovely pasta dish. I used some of my own Roma tomatoes in place of the grape. Since I had to tend to my 8 month old grandson, I left the pasta to cook on low heat and it turned out perfect. Made for Everyday Holiday Tag game. :)

Those very passions push me into constant awareness with always looking for something new to delight the senses, thus my favorite idiom...Inspire me, puuuullllllleeeeeeease! ...and I mean it, too.
