Pasta & Veggies

IMG_2950

So when I am down and out and can’t find anything to fix for dinner (or just plain don’t feel like any of the meals in our freezer) this is what I fix. It has been a staple for my husband and I over the years of our dating and marriage. It is our “go to” meal. It is also somewhat of a comfort meal for us. It is so simple and I am sure that many of you make it for your children, or even your family. But I thought you might like to know some of the things that I fix when I am not cooking from my freezer.

    Hey! This is one of my favorite meals! You just gave me an easier recipe though :o ) I usually make the sauce separately with the butter, parm cheese and cream or half & half…but I don’t always have the cream…I never thought of doing it your way! Thanks! I’m so excited :o )

    I sometimes do the same thing but I add a little season salt.
