Well, yesterday as I was thinking about what to make for dinner, I looked through my pantry and found this colorful spiral pasta; and said to myself this will make a very pretty plate if combined with the right ingredients. So I gathered everything I wanted to put in it and started putting them together.
We had a friend coming over so everything needed to be perfect ( I think it was). When my husband got home, as usual he inhaled the air and said to me "oh baby it smells wonderful" but he had not seen what was in the oven (including some rolls I had in there). Our friend arrived as I was serving dinner and as she walked in the house and went to greet me in the kitchen the first thing she noticed was how beautiful and tasty dinner looked. I had prepare that delicious pasta, some rolls and some salad to go with it. Usually I ask my hubby how is everything because I like to hear how he enjoys it and how he says it; and his answer was "babe, dinner is awesome and it looks beautiful!!!!"
Here is the recipe for that awesome pasta I made. Remember to always add that extra spice to it, LOVE!!! it makes everything taste better.
