Pasta is one of those meals we make for dinner all the time over here. it is so easy to make for the kids especially and I send Ezra to school with leftovers a lot for his lunch.
Pasta Primavera has turned into on of my family’s favorite dishes. My 1 year old loves the pasta with the peas and tomatoes. Era loves the peas and the asparagus and they’ll eat anything when it is covered in cheese. So if you’re looking for dinner recipes for your entire family to eat – I highly recommend trying this one. Plus adding some protein too if you want to bulk it up a bit.
