This is a staple in our house. It's also a great starting point to do variations on. It's a quick pasta recipe without rolling out your own - which we tend to do. Just a quick trip out to the garden to snip some basil and it's perfect. Read more The steam from the pasta cooks the onions, shallots and garlic just a bit, so if you are looking to tame the bite (which i love) saute elements first which imparts a great taste as well.
