Notes
My recipe hack for this quick pasta was to use the leftover tomatoes from bruschetta that I made. The tomatoes were still fresh because I had made them the previous day but looked a bit soggy to eat as is. It had some basil in it which could also be added to the recipe above but I prefer the oregano and parsley. Just a little tip on using leftovers and what you have to make a quick meal!
