One feature of this recipe I really appreciate there is no tomato paste which to me always gets in the way of the "garden fresh" qualities a superb vegetable compliment offers.
This recipe I would have to include thinly sliced sauted celery or at least ground celery seed it just compliments with the veggies meat and pasta so well
