I love this pasta dish because it is so tasty. I also love it because it makes a great dinner and everyone in my family likes it. Simmering the sauce for 5 minutes at the end makes it very flavourful, but not too strong. It's quick, delicious, easy, and pleases everyone, so there is nothing not to like! I use fresh noodles but you can use dried pasta also. Feel free to add grilled chicken on top or on the side; any protein would go well.
