Hi ksagee, I saw your recipe and immediately checked it out, I have had a similar recipe many times at the beach and at home, sometimes at home we do this with linguine. THEN, I noticed you live only 20 miles from me (Gig Harbor)...here's to the PacNW! Excellent recipe, the basil gives it a special touch.
