The boys said this is a keeper!! I used a maranara sauce instead of a regular pasta sauce. Added sides with garlic toast and a garden salad really made this a hit in my house. Will keep this on the menu. Very easy to make!

Almost anything goes with this - Corn kernels, black beans, green chilis. OH! The possibilities!! (Italian gumbo?) Tip for Tumestone: a portable propane (plumbers) torch works great to keep 'em lit.
