I am a pasta lover and this looks so refreshingly different. It is easy to get into a habit of fixing the same dishes over andover. this is yet another pasta dish of yours that I will try. :D

Me too! Theresa! So simple, so healthy and so easy! You could use mini Penne or mini Zitti, and you could use a variety of greens! So simple and yet so clever!
