Excellent version of spaghetti. It was simple to prepare and full of flavor. The kalamata olives and capers were the stars in my opinion. I made this using gluten free quinoa pasta and it worked well. Delicious recipe! Made for Soup-A-Stars for ZWT9 -
Great recipe I personally don't like to put in fried bacon chopped small -
I made this last night. The recipe wasn't clear on how the pasta should be cooked and since I like my noodle al dente I prepared them that was. I thought overall it was okay. I may make this again tweaking certain things here and there to see if I like it more. -
Just made it for a 4th of July bar b que.so happy I did. It was well received and good to the last strand of pasta! Will make often!

I cheated and used 2 14 ounce cans of Fire Roasted diced tomatoes, very well drained instead of the fresh and used whole grain pasta for me, steamed spaghetti squash for DH( post Bariatric Surgery). Really good meal for both of us. Edited 7/23/13
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I am the mother of three, wife of one :)
My teenager is the pickiest eater in the world, while my 3 year old will eat anything (though has been acting more and more fickle lately). Our newest addition was born in June 2008, so she doesn't really know much in the way of varieties of food. My husband says "I don't care what you fix, as long as it has meat in it."
I have thousands of recipes saved on my computer from over the years, and am constantly on the lookout for new ones. I also seem to have accumulated hundreds of cookbooks over the years. I am (slowly) trying to go thru all the recipes I have saved and add them to 'Zaar, but this will take some time. I try to only post things that my family (or I) will eat (though I haven't necessarily yet tried every recipe I have posted).
