  2. I jazzed this one up by adding about 1 1/2 cups of chopped broccoli, 2 TBSP butter for richness, 1/2 cup white wine, 1/4 cup grated romano cheese, 1 can seasoned diced tomatoes with juice, and I upped the garlic to 8 cloves, crushed. I added salt and pepper to taste. No pasta water was needed because the wine and additional veggies added liquid to it.

    Very colorful and flavorful. I served it over spaghetti. Really delicious and it made a lot...good for feeding a family!
