Found this also in Cooking Light but didn't post it quick enough! Made this just as the recipe as written. I used Butoni's fresh fettuccine and also used the entire container of Butoni fresh marinara sauce. I made this just for my husband and I so we had leftovers for lunch the next day and it tasted even better! Quick easy and yummy! Great for a weeknight meal.
