Thanks Cindy!
Look good?
Thanks Jim!
Can this recipe be made in a crockpot if so how would you go about doing it
Hi Kelly – I suppose you could keep it warm in a slow cooker, but it takes so little time to cook, I’d suggest cooking it on the stovetop as written.
Made this tonight and it was great though I had to leave out the beams because my
pan was super full. Will this freeze well???
Hi LL – So glad you enjoyed the recipe. We find that pasta often gets a little mushy after freezing and thawing, so I wouldn’t recommend it.
I made this for dinner last night and the ease of making it, as well as the taste is incredibly delicious. I will make this often.
So glad you enjoyed the recipe Alma!
