I like to sometimes add raisins to the mix try a tablespoon with some pasta water with firm not raw pasta and let all the juices flavor the pasta as well. Also I like to start with pine nuts and let them brown a little before adding the liquid ingredients, and sometimes I finish with a few artichokes.

Great to use fresh summer tomatoes fresh from my organic garden.
