This recipe is so easy to put together and can easily be doubled. I serve this with sautéed kale. I like this dish with a lot of garlic, but you can adjust this as you wish.

It was a nice quick easy meal. I did put extra garlic in it like 10 cloves I also added spinach at the end in a little bit of the pasta water.
