Pasta Mezzanotte image

This is perfect for a midnight snack! That is the meaning of the title. However, this too can be used as a main meal with a robust green salad and hot baked bread, what more could you ask for? This comes from Emerils.com. Update - 06/19/2008 remade this several times and I cut the olive oil down by 1/4 cup and increased the red-pepper flakes and fresh parmigiano.
