we ate the following pasta as our meatless monday dinner tonight! i love this recipe because it's super easy, super tasty, and perfect for mondays when you're not totally feeling it. plus, it feeds a crowd if you have one.
and finally, if you're not so into the meatless aspect, you can easily add shrimp, chicken or sausage.
