Capellini Pomodoro
Capellini Pomodoro is one of those easy and fast recipes I had tucked away far back in my recipe book. Years ago working at the Olive Garden, this is the one pasta dish I had to make at home so I could always have it. It's with the basil and tomatoes and filling up with the pasta, so flavorful. You could add grilled chicken to this easily and it just makes it a little more amazing. Get ready for an Italian dinner!

Notes
You could easily add extra garlic and tomatoes to this dish.
Also grilled chicken on top would add a great addition with lots of protein.
