Notes
For added protein, try incorporating cooked chicken, shrimp, or Italian sausage into the dish.
Feel free to swap the tomato sauce for pesto for a different flavor profile.
For a heartier dish, serve the Ditalini pasta with a side of garlic bread or a fresh salad.
If you prefer a lighter sauce, use a splash of vegetable broth instead of tomato sauce.
