Simple and satisfying, delicious, aromatic, fragrant and full of flavour, this dish has it all. Just make sure that a loaf of bread is handy as dipping into the sauce is equally satisfying.
I chose to use the already made tomato pasta sauce, but you can always replace it with a can of plum tomatoes and increase just a bit the seasoning.
