Our mom had a talent for cooking up recipes that were just so fabulous!  And, this is one of those recipes she handed down to us!

As kids growing up, she insisted on feeding us vegetables as much as possible.  

And since most kids hated their veggies, she decided to make meals that would include some kind of vegetable in the dish.   She knew that if she could incorporate them into something kids would like to eat and not resist, that would be a success.

 The one thing she knew it would always work … was PASTA!
