Notes
Invent Your Recipe:
I love angel hair pasta with shellfish, it is a great compliment with the delicate seafood. This recipe will be great with any type of pasta so use your favorite, or try the angel hair.
Diced tomatoes are a staple in my pantry so I incorporate them into a lot of dishes. If you would rather use fresh tomatoes for this recipe, I recommend cherry or grape tomatoes.
