Anyway, this is the great thing about pastas, you can make so many different kinds but making small adjustments to the ingredients. It just takes a little curiosity, some knowledge of what sounds good in your mind and the will to experiment. I had recently bought a lot of spinach that I got a good deal on. And typically the way I cook is not based off of what I want but what I have in my fridge, I believe a true cook can make a meal out of anything, as long as a few of the basics are around. Therefore this one I was going to naturally use the spinach seeing as how I have so much of it right now. Once I thought about it though I could not just stay with that and because I was going to do a cream sauce I thought what better then tomatoes, to give a little sweet taste to the sauce. I also just bought a jar of capers that I have been wanting to experiment with so I guess if anything those were the determining factors in the creation of this dish. Capers may be small but can add such a great taste to sauce, both red and white. Then those sauces whether red or white go really well on a variety of fishes and chicken. All together this was yet another great lunch that was perfectly finished with some grated Pecorino Romano and bread. The only thing that I would change about the dish is about adding a glass of dry white wine to the sauce as well to enhance the taste of the sauce.
