This was a really easy weeknight pasta dish. I liked that it was quick to make and involved minimal prep. We liked the dish, but maybe not enough to have again.

Made a great lunch today, followed directions exactly except I added some mushrooms to the sauce. Came together really fast.....you need some good fresh bread to follow through to enjoy teh sauce! ZWT5
