Merrily, Merrily, I move along. I have been hit with the Christmas spirit. I could not get Christmas Carols out of my head yesterday, so I just sang them all day long. This left me in quite a good mood. Then my husband took me to see Catching Fire last night. Date night, always a blast. No kids, no cooking and a great dating partner. Plus, we both really liked the movie, so that always helps.
Anyways, does any of that have anything to do with the recipe. Nope, not one iota. I made this on Monday night, and it was a hit. The whole family loved it, and even went back for seconds. For some reason when I cook pasta, it never looks like enough going into the pot, so I add more. Then I have pasta for a basketball team. Okay not that much, but we always have plenty of pasta, lots of room for seconds. I will try to abstain from adding more pasta in the future!
