My Favorite Pasta Recipe

Mitchell and I have instituted ‘Pasta Sunday’ into our weekly routine.

I could eat pasta every day, but I can’t do that so we’ve made Sunday our designated pasta day. We’ll try different recipes and even got a pasta maker to try our hand at making our own pasta, stay tuned for how that goes. This recipe has been one of my favorites by far.
