Florentine Penne Pasta

Hot days don't always lend themselves well to heavy meals, which is why pasta dishes that are this easy make me happy!  No heavy sauces and no time spent over the stove except to make the pasta.   It's a nice summer dish too because it has a brightness to it that seems to fit right in!

And it was so easy to make...my kind of dish!  A short list of ingredients too...have I talked you into making it yet?  Well, okay then, on to the recipe!
