This is a new recipe that I tried. I was looking to some pasta dishes to make and this one popped up. This was easy inexpensive and very good. This recipe is a winner in my house.
I made two batches of this and froze one for a later time. I love when I can put away a meal for later. It just make life so much easier after a long work day.
