Yum yum!<br/>I used a lot less olive oil than called for in the recipe, just about 2 tablespoons, and I doubled up on the pasta. I used mini-penne. This was so good and super easy. Next time I may add some cooked chicken breast, just because my family feels deprived when I make a vegetarian main dish. Loved it!
