Oh yum! This was a tasty, easy recipe that made for a lovely summer supper. I subbed bow-tie pasta instead of linguini. After 8 years of being posted, I'm glad I found it - thanks, Paula! -
Wow! This dish is one of the reasons why I could eat pasta everyday. I misread the ingredients, thought it was 1-2 tsps of crushed red pepper, so I used 1 teaspoon instead of 1/2. Turned out great! Can't wait to try this with fresh tomatoes instead of canned. Made for ZWT5 -
Lovely Mediterranean flavored pasta with all my favourite things in it. Yum! -
Insanely delicious! I have always cooked pasta using rich white buttery or garlic sauces so switching to more of a tomato base was new. The flavor is so rich and delicious! This tastes like a gourmet dish... something from a famous Italian restaurant! I used sun dried tomatoes packed in olive oil, and replaced the shallots with chopped red onions. I will definitely make this again. Thanks so much for sharing this.

I came to this site in March of 2004. It was then called Recipezaar. This site was the first on-line site that I ever joined. I first popped in 2003 while searching for a Peach Cobbler Recipe. In March of 2004, DH was having shoulder surgery and I was looking for a Split Pea Soup. Once again I found myself on Zaar as it came to be called.
Over the years I hung out and learned from some of the best home cooks in the country, I posted over 700 recipes on the site, reviewed over 3500 recipes and posted over 3000 food photos. Over the next 10 years the site made many changes and in 2010 it was sold to to Food Network and became Food.com.
Until last year we played games, talked and shared with one another. As a result of the community and the relationships I built I got to meet some wonderful people from all over the country. I also have a great number of friends that I have never meet face to face. Some of us still hang out at various places across the net.
Zaar was more than a cooking community. It was an internet community of friendship. Life is an adventure ever changing.
