I am a huge pasta fan! It seriously feels like Christmas to me when Olive Garden has their unlimited pasta special. I usually drag my husband there a few times during the promotional period. 🙂
I was craving some pasta recently and definitely was not looking appealing enough to head out anywhere, so I rummaged through my pantry and fridge and this beautiful pasta was born. It tasted absolutely amazing and tamed my crazy pasta eating urges….for awhile at least!
