This is excellent, and easy to fix. Hubby hates angel hair pasta and broccoli, so I substituted fettucini and extra snap peas. (I also used home-made stock instead of canned.) The tomatoes aren't needed (and I don't like cooked tomatoes in leftovers, ew). Hubby went crazy over the dish, had a second helping, and asked me to make it again. I will.
