Nutrition
This dish was a huge hit with my pasta loving family, and something a little different from our typical red-sauce that we usually use. I actually chose to make it without the chicken simply because I didn’t have any thawed out, plus it made making this dish even faster!
One thing to note is to make sure you are using quality ingredients. A good olive oil, like Pompeian Extra Virgin Olive Oil, can make the difference in taste; as can fresh ingredients versus canned/processed.
