My mother-in-law first introduced me to this pasta dish. It is super easy to make and offers a new twist on the typical pasta dish. Most pasta dishes are very heavy in flavor, this is not one of them. The garlic, tomatoes, and olive oil makes this dish a very healthy and fairly low calorie meal. Throw in some bacon and it is a perfect BLT pasta dinner!
