    Keeping this post short for all my friends who tagged me in that food blogger meme last week. This post is dedicated to y'all!

    The name of this recipe might be long but it is actually easy enough to make during the week. Cook the veggies while the pasta boils and dinner can be ready in less than 30 minutes. For a complete meal, top pasta with salmon or grilled chicken. Everyone in my family approves of this recipe. My husband says it’s one of his new favorite pasta dishes.
