I was wondering what to make for dinner…this sounds perfect. I love this recipe! I want to try to cook more healthy and with less meat so this will be perfect. Looks like you are up and cooking again in your new kitchen. I'm still waiting for photos!! :)
This looks like the perfect summer meal – maybe a few pine nuts added in would be good too. Can't wait to try it after we get home from our trip to Utah!
Simple, yummy and healthy…OH YES
Great looking pasta. Thanks for sharing.
the pine nuts idea sounds great. I'm making this for dinner and I'll try it out with toasted pinenuts. I LOVE this recipe (I know I already said that) but I had to tell you how pretty those pictures are! I wish I had your photo skills sis!
