Introduction
This dish is quick and easy to make. It is great by itself or as a side dish. This is one of my "go-to" meals after a long day of work. If you feel ambitious, you can make a cheese sauce for creamier results, but I usually just let the cheese melt into the pasta. This dish is quick and easy to make.
