Notes

For this recipe, I used spaghetti noodles. However, you don’t have to use spaghetti noodles. I just prefer it, because the noodles are easier to stab, and it’s perfect for little fingers. Really any noodles or pasta you have on hand, will work for this recipe. I have also made it using penne pasta, as well as bow tie pasta, and they both tasted the same, and just as delicious. I have also made this with whole wheat noodles and it was very tasty and a healthier alternative as well.
