Ahhh, a 5 ingredient masterpiece (with no garlic or onion mincing) after a full day of Christmas shopping! This was soooo good! We loved every bite...I had no penne, so I used farfalle. We found liberal amounts of fresh cracked pepper and Italian flat-leaf parsley on top of this worked out great. Bravo, and we will most certainly turn to this winning recipe again. Thanks!
