This was a great healthy quick supper after a long hot day at the playground and the pool with the kids, my husband ate 2 huge platefuls!

I cooked the pasta with the tomatoes so it was not soupy at all since the pasta just soaked up the liquid. My daughter even liked it and she is picky.

I add extra Italian Seasoning. Great for a light summer dinner.

Pretty bland, and the sauce was too thin.
