A good ole spaghetti dish is always comforting after a long day! Especially if it is quick and easy to prepare. This recipe makes for a fancy dinner without all the hard work (the hardest part will be to find out in what aisle those sun dried tomatoes are hiding, as Arnaud would tell you from his own experience). It also helps if you get some help from your favorite assistant to get the whole thing done even quicker! It…
