Happy Wednesday everyone! How is your week going? We are plugging away (mostly at home) during this strange pandemic/quarantine time. I will say, family dinners are really nice right now. We are all home and can enjoy a relaxed meal together every night. That is one thing I have really enjoyed during all this craziness. One of our favorite meals lately has been this One Pot Creamy Garlic Pasta. I love that it is incredibly easy to make and seriously so delicious! The simplicity of the pasta cooking and making it’s own sauce in the process is so cool. We prefer to use cream in this recipe (makes it taste like Alfredo sauce–which my boys LOVE), but feel free to use milk ( it will still taste great, just not as creamy). This recipe makes 4 servings, so I double it to feed my family.
This turns out so great every time and I only have one dish to wash! YES! I like it with kale or spinach stirred in at the end until it is wilted, but you could leave it out. You could also add some grilled chicken or cooked shrimp at the end. I think you will love this recipe as much as we do!
