Not Just for Lent Linguini
"This is a pasta my dad threw together a couple of years ago. It's one of those things you can trow together quickly. The best part is you can serve as a main dish or a side dish. If you want you can add shrimp, clams, or chicken. You can adjust the ingredients to your taste. Sometimes will use 3 cans of tomotos.
Warning, I love to use fresh garlic, so if you are going out into public bring gum!"

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I live near Cleveland, Ohio and cooking is one of my favorite past times. I start many of my meals with recipes from magazines, cookbooks, or on line. I have three children who often like to cook with me. I work in a great Mexican Restaurant and learn quite a bit about different spices and things.
