Pasta Al Forno

Pasta Al Forno, just means “Baked Pasta”. This is an easy weeknight meal that brings me back to my childhood, and warms the soul. I would have added peas, but Baby Girl wasn’t feeling em’.

This is also one of those meals that can be made ahead of time, frozen, and pulled out whenevah is clevah.
