YUM! I added chicken breast marinated in a tablespoon of the olive oil from the tomatoes & white wine. I also used whole grain thin spaghetti instead of linguine.

This is a wonderful dish, fast to whip up, and the taste as though you had spent lots of time to prepare. I will serve this dish often.

I would not remake this; it was too similar to a simple pasta-roni and lacked the flavor I had anticipated. It was good but not worth remaking again.

Delicious and very easy. I substituted angel hair (b/c it's my favorite), added the tuna, and omitted the olives. Yum!

We loved this recipe! It's a little expensive to make. It cost between $15-$20, but it tastes like dishes I've had in Italian restaurants for $12/plate. And it was very quick to make for weeknight meals. I added sliced grilled chicken for extra heartiness. (My teenage boys like meat!)

This was quick to fix and absolutely delicious! You can keep all the ingredients on hand easily and whip it up even in the midst of a snowstorm! We did add the tuna and liked it. We think it would be good with pancetta too.
