Quick Easy Pasta Recipe
Tradition in our house is that every Sunday we enjoy pasta. I make a fresh pot of red sauce, salad and good hearty bread to dip into salt & peppered olive oil. It is delicious and easy.
This past Sunday, I went to take out of the freezer what I thought to be sauce, only to open the container and see that it was yogurt! I did not have sauce to serve on Sunday! What was I to do??
No worries…I made a quick easy pasta with tomatoes, basil, beans, garlic and onion….a few shaves of Romano cheese and we had dinner!
