Introduction

Yet another "throw it all together" recipe, made with things I happened to have on hand. Turned out pretty good, a sweet tomato pasta dish. You could add any type of veggie to this, I ate it with some canned no-salt green beans mixed in. Yet another "throw it all together" recipe, made with things I happened to have on hand.
