  1. What ‘sauce’ are u talking about while pasta is cooking? Recipe doesn’t say anything about ‘sauce’? Are u talking about diced tomato juice?

  2. I made my own garlic scape pesto beforehand, so I was looking for what else I could add besides meat. Luckily, I had some local oyster mushrooms on hand as well as garden tomatoes, so this sounded like a great time to use them! I was very pleased with it!! My husband and children enjoyed it too.

  3. 5 stars
