This was delicious!
This dish was not only full of flavor but it was easy to make and looked beautiful. I didn't have any rice but I used whole wheat pasta. I added red bell pepper and black olives as I didn't have the other ingredients but I will make this again with the green olives and green bell as I think this would add more complex flavor. This is a must try.
