This is a twist on a Rosemary Stanton recipe. We served this with simple steamed broccoli, and some fresh pasta (we used fettucini). We found that the sauce stuck to the fettucini quite nicely, and it would be lovely with some chopped parsely on top to finish it off, or some mandolined capsicum as we did, which gives a lovely, cooling, contrasting crunch.
