in #howtofriday7 years ago (edited)

Being the mother of a 3 year old princess, easy dinners are always winners for me! You pair that with delicious pasta and Im hooked! This is easily a 30 minute meal for 4-6 people, if youre prepared. Just a little FYI in cooking.... The trick to making any meal super easy and quick is to have all the ingredients measured and ready to go! Well lets get started....
