  1. We really liked this! My family wants to have it again. I added garlic to the rub and left out the capers and artichokes cause my daughter doesn't like them. It was still great with those changes. I'm sure it would be even better with them in there, though. Thanks, GailAnn!
     
  2. I made exactly as written except used fettuccine noodles because I couldn't find any angel hair pasta. This makes a nice, quick weeknight meal. Thanks for sharing.

I'm just me, mother, grandmother...friend to many and a Louisianian. My Cajun and French Quarter Italian descent afforded me exposure to some of the best of foods. My passions are my family, decorating, cooking and gardening. 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. God Bless America!
