Very good quick pasta dish which we enjoyed. I made a few minor changes based on what I had on hand by using green beans (instead of the peas and watercress) and sherry (instead of the wine). Thanks for sharing!

If you are looking to ask me a question? I'm not here. I won't answer.
I do not assure you that the ingredients, amounts or even the directions in any recipe under my two accounts are correct due to the bad directional pointer in the database that is causing problems with the amounts or ingredients. I will also NOT assure you they are correct when the site claims they are fixed. Use at your own risk. They will be correct on my site. End of story.
