I made this as a main dish with a salad on the side. I made the mistake of starting the sauce before the water for the pasta was boiling so my sauce was a little thicker than it should've been. My family thought it was a little bland. I think next time I would add some sauteed garlic.

Easy to make and delicious. My husband said, "Make this one again", the first time I ever remember him saying that!
