Author Notes

Pasta is such a versatile dish that can be dressed up with a number of different sauces and ingredients. However, when I am in a hurry and want to make a pasta dish using pantry ingredients, I take the 'less is more' approach. I select a few ingredients that pack bold flavor and really let them work their magic with the pasta.

This is a dish I recently created that is light, but flavorful. It's perfect for a weeknight meal, or you can pair it with a nice glass of Pinot Grigio, a side of crunchy Italian bread and enjoy it on date night. How ever you serve it, this bucatini is sure to please everyone around your table. —Corinne Sarvis
