This is surely a treat for all those pasta lovers out there. I am a FAN of pasta and not because I love food. There are so much variety when it comes to this kind of dish. Around this time of year we all are starting to eat our favorite comfort foods. Pasta is definitely on the top of the list. Super fast to make and fun to eat.  It serves eight people in only 30 minutes.
