This is my new FAVORITE RECIPE...! It is delicious, healthy and easy to make! I made a few changes.....I added the garlic to the warm pasta,because I think garlic is better uncooked. I lightly wilted the spinach in a pan w/olive oil, and added the drained roasted red peppers and combined with pasta. I added calmetta olives, and a banana pepper and a few small tomatos from my garden! I served this room temp. and it was a perfect dinner! Read More

This is a wonderful easy pantry pasta -- just the kind of recipe I need right now. I added a little extra olive oil, because I do that with everything. Read More

Excellent recipe! Followed recipe but made two additions (per our tastes): added some kalamatas, sliced into rings, and a jar of water packed artichoke hearts, drained and cut in half. Also used 16 oz. of fresh baby spinach since that is how the package came, roughly chopped/sliced. Do not cut back on the olive oil-may seem like a lot but it is coating a pound of pasta and vegetables. Also good cold the next day. Read More
