This pasta recipe is chock full of ingredients that we love and was bursting with flavor. The only thing I would change about it is that there was way too much oil for the amount of pasta. You could easily halve the oil and go from there. We used fresh roma tomatoes from the garden, which went really nicely in this dish. Thanks for sharing.
