One of my favorite pasta dishes to make. Easy, delicious. Rich in calcium and protein and some fats perfect for growing kids and cheese-loving adults. My family loves it. I sometimes substitute yogurt in place of cream if I’m feeling extra health-conscious 🙂
This is with bacon, folks..bacon! And lots of cheese..hmmm
Why are you still here? 😀
Happy Cooking!
