    Quick and Delicious

    I was looking for something quick and with items I had on hand. This one hit the spot on all notes, easy, delicious and I didn't have to run to the store. I used GF penne pasta with mine and substituted milk and melted butter since I didn't have half and half.

    Delicious! 1st ever TS recipe

    This was my first Tastefully Simple meal, from a dinner mixer kit. My husband was skeptical about it, but LOVED IT! He took leftovers for lunch, which is rare. I prepared it with ziti as he prefers that to the more stringy pastas. I'll be making it again! We did the remix shrimp po'boys which were really good too. Yum! Now, to get the kids to be more adventurous...
