Herb salad

Hot tea
Pecan Sandies (actually knock offs of Pecan Sandies, but you get the idea)
______________________________________________________________
We don't eat meals like the double decker tacos from yesterday very often and, boy, afterwards we need a quick and sure return to a more normal eating style. This is a new recipe, but was certain to fit the bill. A light, spicy red sauce for pasta with some salmon for body. The original recipe wasn't spicy enough, didn't contain enough garlic, and had no red wine, BUT it was a great inspiration for us. In the end, this turned out to be a lot like trollop pasta, one of our favorites. It's a bit weird that they're so similar, because other than fish and tomatoes they have dissimilar ingredients. One would think a sauce made with olives and capers would be very different from one without, but actually, no. Anyway,a yummy meal that brought us back to basics.

Prep Notes
Difficulty: Easy
Chopping: Garlic, parsley
Time: 35 minutes
Make ahead: Make the sauce ahead and toss with fresh pasta.
