Italian Pasta

This is an all-in-one skillet dish.  The Italian flavors blend so well together.  I came up with this recipe nearly ten years ago. I used what I had available.  Needless to say, it has changed a bit over the years, and mostly to accommodate what I had on hand.  I love dishes that work like that.  Have fun with it, and make it your own.
