  1. Lovely Mediterranean flavours in this tasty and easy pasta sauce, and the pickled peppers added a nice 'bite'. I used spaghettini, and after cooking it to the al dente stage, drained it, added a slurp of olive oil and 2 to 3 tablespoons of the sauce, and mixed it well together. I then divided the spaghettini into 4 pasta bowls and served the remaining sauce over each portion. Thanks for a yummy recipe which will become a favourite in our household.
     
  2. A very robust and flavourful sauce and super easy to make! I used fusilli pasta so that the bits and pieces of veg could attach themselves to a curl here and there. Oh, and another thing I did was to mix it with the pasta with maybe a cupful of the pasta cooking water and leave it for about 10 minutes (I drained the pasta just before it reached the al dente stage) so that the pasta could absorb some of the sauce. Served with Parmesan (what else?).

In the words of Tracy Byrd, "I'm from the country & I like it that way"!! On May 1, 2008 my husband and I started a new adventure. We'll be living in a 37 foot RV while our new home is under construction. Its out in the country on a dead end dirt road with lots of trees. For the next 4 months or so, most meals will be cooked on the BBQ and life will be full of challenges! We love spending quality time with our friends & family - especially the grandkids!! The photo is 4 generations - my 84 year old mother, myself, my daughter & my youngest granddaughter - taken at the end of 2006. I've participated in many contests & events here on Zaar but this is the first banner that I've posted.
