My husband and mother in law LOVE this dinner! It is so yummy and quick to make. I never made the pasta but I make butter noodles or red potatoes.

This recipe is a keeper. After reading the reviews, I decided to do something a little different with the pasta to give it more flavor, so I added some bacon to it. After cooking the bacon (4 strips), I removed it from the pan and added the garlic to saute. I followed the rest of the recipe as it was written, adding the bacon (crumbled) to the pan along with the tomatoes and pasta.
