Amber's Pasta (Gluten Free)

I have no pictures for this recipe, but I will assure you that it is very tasty and it is my sister's favorite dish I have probably made her so far.  This past weekend I visited her with my Mom, we had a great time just relaxing and catching up.  I hope you all enjoy this as I am sure I will have to make this again and when I do I will take as many pictures as I can.  Enjoy
