Quickest Pasta Supper

Submitted by LC69414

"This is the quickest, simplest most delicious pasta recipe i know. It looks so pretty speckled with red, green and black, and glossy with fragrant olive oil that you could serve it at a dinner party in small portions as a starter. Also fantastic when you have just got in from work or college and need food!"

This is such a great quick but flavorful pasta dish to make. This is one of those for when you haven't been to the store, since most things could be kept on hand. Easy for kids who love pasta.

Sitting home alone on a Friday night and I wanted something a litle more exciting than grilled cheese! This was it!!! So simple and fast and SO DELISH!! I added a chopped up roasted red pepper (from a jar) and it was great. Thanks for a recipe I will make again and again.
