    Quick and Delicious

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    I had an opportunity to try his recipe last week and give it an A+. I meets all my requirements for a fast, tasty and... balanced summer meal. I substituted fresh grilled tuna to add a bit more flavor but have had the original and like both equally well. Next time I'm going to try it with salmon.Read more

    This recipe was great. I made it for dinner for my husband on a hot day. I cooked the pasta early in the morning, drained,... and let it sit in the refrigerator all day. I also added 1/3 cup of sun dried tomatoes. Delicious.Could be made with chicken as well!Read more
