Delicious !! Added a zucchini fresh from the garden and some cheese at the end. I am posting a pic of the lovely fresh ingredients that went into this !
I did add in 1 8 oz. can of tomato sauce with the rest of the ingredients to give it a little more consistency. No one knew the difference, and it gave something to cling to the pasta. We loved it and will have again!
I prefer my sauce a little more "saucy" so next time I may throw in some tomato paste or cornstarch to thicken it up a bit. Excellent flavors though. I did sub chili pepper flakes for the fresh chili (availability). Will use tonight. Dinner will be a chicken breast with black olive pasta sauce served atop creamy cheese polenta. YUM
Easy, quick, tasty meal. I have to admit I didn't really measure, just sort of guesstimated with a heavy use of garlic. Instead of parsely used rosemary because that's what I had on hand. I got to use some colored pasta a friend gave me from Italy.
Mmmm, this was really good and so simple to prepare. I used some quartered cherry tomatoes because the local store didn't have plum tomatoes and because I like quite a lot of sauce on my pasta treated this as a "serves 2". It's so tasty if serving four you probably want to double up on the quantities! I used a nice hot chili which gave it a great tang for anyone that likes a bit of spice.
