I made this for dinner tonight, wow, it was really good. I increased the pasta and added extra veggies because I wanted leftovers. I used about 1 1/2 cup small pasta shells (what I had on hand). I included one yellow crookneck squash, a little bit of zucchini I had left over, 1/2 an onion, 3 small fresh tomatoes (all diced), some frozen asparagus spears cut into thirds, and 4 big cloves of garlic minced. I sauteed the onion first, then put in the tomatoes so they would cook down some. Then the garlic and the other veggies slowly, waiting a minute or two before adding more. Then a tsp of salt, some fresh ground pepper. I then tasted it and thought it needed just a touch more flavor so I followed another reviewer's advice and added in maybe 3 tblsp italian dressing. Just enough to really kick up the flavor but you can't tell there's italian dressing in it. After stirring in the pasta and the fresh basil, I served it topped with fresh parm/reg cheese. My husband really loved it and I can tell its going to be even better tomorrow. I will definitely make this again, next time I will make even more in my big skillet because DH is eating it up!
