Do you find the pasta dry? It seems like there is not a lot of sauce in the recipe. It sounds DELICIOUS though and something I'd LOVE to make next week!

Ann, it is more a coating than a sauce. I like it for that very reason, trying not to make to many heavy tomato saucy things.

If it is too dry for your liking you can add 1/2 cup white wine to your saute pan with the ingrediants.

I like my pasta for this cooked a bit longer than al dante'

And when topped with the scrimp, Mushrooms, Artichoke Heart, along with the olives, oil and seasonings it is very nice.

If your worried about the Pasta being dry, you could also dribble seasoned Extra Virgin Olive oil over the pasta before serving the contents of you saute pan on top.

Hope you like it!

Thanks Donna~~ I have been trying to adapt some of our favorite so they are not so fat or spicy for I have to watch the spicy foods for Jonathan right now.

Nana,

I am so excited about the book that Laura sent me.

Living in a multi-family, Mutli-generational home. We do quite a bit of family cooking. At least three times a week sharing meal time together.

There are eleven of us from 15 months to 70 years young. Four generations.

So this is a pratical thing for all of the "Cooks" in the family , freeing us up from the kitchen to get some other things done!

Hugs, GG
