"This recipe is usually enough to serve four people, but adding ingredients is pretty simple. (note: this topping is also good if you make the entire thing, except save the spinach to use in place of lettuce for a salad)"

The recipe was quite good and rather easy to make. Pasta tasted good, but you don't really need so much dressing.

When I found this recipy I thouht this was just what I wanted to eat for dinner. And when I realised it was so easy to make - real treat, and tastes totally delicious. Only instead of Italien or Sun-dried tomato dressing I used olive oil and some herbs (basil, oregano, parsley), and it tasted real nice. Delicious, fast, different... Thank you!
