I'm not a huge cucumber fan but I'm sure my hubby and boys would have no problem finishing this off on their own:)

This is a very very great recipe. My daughter’s favorite. She’s been in hospital, making this for her when she gets home. I use the whole 16 oz of pasta. We love our pasta. Plenty of sauce. Don’t need to add extra.
