Wow, this is delicious! Used whole wheat rotini pasta, added some baby kale (lightly steamed in a basket over the boiling pasta first) and some fresh feta cheese. Used a jar of my diced tomatoes because I didn't have fresh. Super easy, fast, healthy, and yummy! -
This was AWESOME and so very easy to make ~ I used 2 handfuls of fresh arugula, but used canned italian tomatoes, drained with the juice reserved. I also used a combo of pastas as I didn't have quite enough penne. Delicious and light yet robust flavors ~ loved the garlic. Shredded a bit of fresh parmesan on top before serving. A definite keeper ~ made for PAC Spring 2009!!
