This made for a simple, tasty dinner that sort of reminded me of puttanesca sauce. I used linguine fini for the pasta and a 28-oz. can of diced San Marzano tomatoes. I also used both basil and parsley. Made for Fall PAC 2012.

Yum. Farfalle pasta works great with this. Definitely best fresh (loses its spark reheated the next day).
