I think I have told you earlier about J's love affair with Italian food. He loves his pasta! It's like his hummous withdrawal. He also gets 'pasta withdrawal' I think.
Most of J's colleagues at work, have rice for lunch and never fail to wonder how J can have pasta for lunch on most working days. He in turn wonders how they can have rice. You get the picture. He comes up with various versions of sauces, featuring sun dried tomatoes and pesto (A couple of precious bottles purchased from Chennai; sadly we don't get many gourmet products here), olives...the work.
This recipe is ever so easy. The original doesn't have garlic in it. But I added some. Also I didn't have any thyme, so i added oregano and some chilli flakes for some zing!
