Yes, the name of this recipe DID capture my attention. And I'm glad that it did! This dish is very good - real comfort food. I did toss in some red pepper for a little extra zip. Thanks for a great recipe.

I found this recipe to lack in flavor. Maybe my tastebuds were tainted with the vinegar in my dinner salad? Anyhow, I'll give it another try.

We enjoyed this with dinner tonight. The flavor is lovely. It was simple to make, too. I did substitute fusili for ziti, as that's what I happened to have. I also used fresh frozen parsley and basil, which I heated along with the onion/garlic mixture in the skillet. I did not change any other ingredients or methods of cooking. Thank you very much for sharing this recipe with us.
