Delicioso! Flavorful and rich sauce with plenty leftover for more pasta. I served this with Italian marinated steamed green beans.
It was easy and very tasty, everyone loved it. I forgot the basil 🙄, but still delicious! I will be making it again. Now, I’m researching more dinners. Thank you! Loved it, love your videos!
