One of my fav pasta recipes, super filling & the flavors are immaculate. You definitely want to add this in to your dinner rotation.
Recipes like this I recommend for those who want to test their culinary skills & increase their taste palette. The skill level is intermediate, great for those who cook more frequently than the average. This one you’ll be making every week, it’s that good.
