This terrific recipe has been one of our summer staples for years (over 10, maybe 20); my kids love it too! The amount of sauce works fine with 1 lb of pasta. However, all the chopping does take time.

This is truly great, and has become a summer staple. But it need not be limited to pasta - - it's terrific as a sauce on grilled chicken or fish too.

This was yummy! I didn't hassle with trying to find good tomatoes in January so I substituted two cans of Organic Muir Glen diced tomatoes. This will be even tastier come summer with fresh tomatoes. Increased all the ingredients somewhat because who cooks 3/4 lb of pasta? I had 1 lb of fresh fettuccine and used that. Definitely a quick and delicious pasta dish reminiscent of a puttanesca, except lighter.
