Pasta Greatness

Pasta is just one of those dishes you can not live without.  There are so many things you can do with it.  I mean Cincinnati came up with Skyline over pasta.  Its amazing.  Here is a little sample of one of my favorite dishes I make when I am in a hurry and really don't feel like doing much and even Felicia can do it.  Actually, I really don't let her cook much, she's a great cook, I just don't really like anyone in my kitchen.  Unless there making dessert then we can be friends.

Enjoy this wonderful dish full of flavors.

Cooking The Magic
