Cooks' Note

This hearty pasta dish is topped with a simplified version of a traditional Italian olive and tomato sauce. Because the sauce is brimming with chunks of vegetables, you needn’t use an inordinate quantity of pasta. Be sure to choose an organic whole-wheat pasta, not one that has been made from refined flour. Use whole-wheat fettucine if you prefer.
