Pastaless 'cause that's how I roll

Dinner last night... soooo good. Pre-op I would have made something like this and served it on top of a pile of pasta. So not needed and better than that... not missed! This is all the "good stuff" from the top of a yummy pasta dish without the filler. Trust me, make it.
