There are so many varieties of pasta, it is simply amazing. The Italians really take pride in matching the perfect pasta with each sauce. So break out of your mold and try one you have never had before. Have some fun. We have even seen some with different themes. Cars and trucks, dinosaurs, sharks and sea critters!
This is a great recipe to finish off the chunk of blue cheese that is still sitting in your fridge,left over from the party. Creamy, yummy and quick. That's why we love pasta!
