The Duo Dishes: Oil-packed tomatoes would work just fine. Though, you might need to loosen up the sauce a bit with more of the pasta cooking water since the dried tomatoes won’t have the juice of the fresh ones.

Oh, now this is interesting. The tomatoes are a nice touch. Wonder if oil-packed sun dried tomatoes would work for this too. They have a nice sweetness to them.

I’ve read about this dish but have never made it or eaten it in a restaurant. It looks terrific! The mint garnish makes the photo. Good stuff – thanks.

Una bella pasta Siciliana! This recipe definitely calls for Sicily’s finest almonds: http://gustiamo.typepad.com/gustiblog/2012/08/caffesicilianyt.html
