"I got this receipe from a friend a long time ago. It is extremely easy and delicious and has gotten rave reviews every time I've made it. I didn't find one quite like on the website, so I thought I would share. This is a great dinner party meal when served with a nice green salad and a crisp white wine!"

This was so simple and so delicious! I didn't have fish bouillon so just used a chicken one instead and I also added a chopped green chilli to give it a bit of a kick. This will be my regular pasta sauce from now, thanks Aimee!!
