Awesome pasta! One of the best we have had in a very long time. The flavours and colours together are beauteous. The pecans added that wee bit of creamy texture to make it interesting. Did make a change, used grilled pork and a sprinkling of lemon pepper. I made the full recipe for the two of us and so happy I did, we can have it again tonight! Thank you so much Ellie for another keeper recipe! Made for Billboard Recipe Tag.
