This is a super quick pasta recipe for when you don’t feel like cooking, and you want pasta and the kids are hungry, and a million things are going on at once.
I use this pasta recipe as a base as adjust based on what veggies I have that need to be used up or what flavors I craving. It has protein, fiber, and all the coziness.
