That makes it perfect for starting when you have time in the afternoon before the evening gets crazy with homework and soccer practice and all the other activities that make evenings hectic.

This Skillet Sausage Pasta is a favorite dish in our house, modified from an America's Test Kitchen recipe. It is unbelievably easy and delicious. My husband calls it "the good pasta" and would happily eat it once a week. In fact we did usually eat it once a week before I became a blogger and had to make new recipes all the time. When I got ... continue reading...
