What a quick and easy dish to make Kim. My dh was in pasta heaven. Told me it was just like him mom use to make. I used a mixture of red & green peppers, sweet onions, garlic, and diced tomatoes along with Lumache medie pasta and a really good quality parmesan cheese. Thanks for sharing a recipe that will be repeated at my home. Made for Pac - Fall - 2011.
