Try adding some capers and black olives!!
So simple but SO delicious! Added some shrimp on top and it was amazing! The fresh basil adds so much flavor.
Followed your recipe and directions to the letter and it turned out delicious! Great for a quick snack and yummy lunch too.
My dear mom made this but used Angel Hair Pasta, which we prefer; added Zesty Italian Salad dressing, Salad Supreme Seasoning; and lots of freshly grated Romano cheese.
We use salad supreme for seasoning. You can find it in the spice aisle. Also we just use zesty Italian dressing over mixture. use sparingly. We add more before serving if necessary. We also add chopped veggies, green onions, multi colored peppers, zucchini, cake tomato…..
So fast and amazingly delicious! A quick dinner or a great side too. I added parmesan cheese and extra black pepper on the top. Superb
Would of marked five stars but they wouldnโt fill in. Tried this โlightโ pasta recipe for summer dinner. First night served hot, after making, and the next evening served cold. Both ways are excellent. Fussy eater wondering if they would like cold pasta totally won over. Very happy to have found this easy summertime supper dish!
iT LOOKED SO YUMMY. I ADDED SO FRESH COOKED TEXAS WILD SHRIMP. AND IT WAS SO YUMMY,
Hmmmmmmm….. it’s really looking so yomi
15 minute pastas?! Yes please! I love adding a great olive oil for that extra flavour. I can imagine this would taste amazing with something like feta cheese as well…. But that’s probably because I’m addicted to anything cheese!
Definitely good with feta or fresh parmesan!
