PRO TIP
Buy your pasta at the dollar store. Even better yet, when your grocery store has pasta on sale, make sure you stock up on them. Dry pasta has a very long long long shelf like.
For garnish, you can slice some fresh lemons.
I think a generous sprinkle of lemon balances the flavor of the dish.
Also, chop some fresh parsley and sprinkle on top.
