This was a really easy and delicious pasta dish! The only thing is, when you add it to your shopping list, it puts it under canned goods - so that is what I bought - and I think that fresh would be much better. Thanks for a yummy recipe!

MMMMM MMMM this looks REALLY GOOD!!! easy & excellent!!!! For garlic lovers like me,,before or at the same time your adding pasta to boiling water, just toss in as many garlic cloves you like to the boiling water ( I usually do 2-3),you boil along with your pasta,then drain pasta and water,garlic will be nice and soft by the time pasta's done depending how big the garlic cloves you added,if big,,add while bring up water to boil before adding pasta) when pasta is done according to pkg directions,drain & pick out garlic cloves, easily mash with fork and add to your sauce..scrumptious!!! oh and I make something similair to this myself and I love it for a lovely quick meal!!! Thanx for posting Debbie :)
