I gave a little twist to my simple spaghetti dish by using penne.

Penne takes a bit longer to cook (13-14 minutes) than regular spaghetti (7 minutes), so it may be best to start sautéing the ingredients after the penne is added to the boiling water.Season well with salt and pepper. Recipe by Mokugetuayame
