Introduction

This is my variation of another recipe I found here on Spark. Serve cold or warm. I like to top mine with a tablespoon or so of feta cheese (not included in nutritional info). Cooking time is for pasta ~ plan for at least 4 hours refrigeration before serving if you want to serve it cold! This is my variation of another recipe I found here on Spark. Serve cold or warm.
