This lovely pasta dish is perfect for Christmas. It's quick to make and absolutely gorgeous in the bowl. Cook as much pasta as you will need, about half a pound of pasta for every three people and this will become a holiday tradition before your very eyes! It's lovely with a simple salad and a beautiful loaf of crusty Italian bread!
It's also an elegant New Year's Eve dinner, for a cozy night in, or four a nice party of four. When I think of pasta, I think of weeknights filled with kid activities, a quick bowl of pasta, and off we go! This dish, while designed to be quick and easy, makes you want to slow down and be at peace with those who partake with you.
