Dave’s Notes:
1. Cooking is an art and please feel free to modify this recipe and make it your own. Use Bowties instead of Penne or Doube up on Mozzarella Cheese.
2. Fresh Herbs if you can get them is always great. We cook our meals a little different every time we make them, sometimes for the better and sometimes for the worse, but how are we to know if we don’t try it out. Enjoy and have Fun!!!
