Yesterday’s dinner was so delicious, easy and quick. As you know, I love pasta, tomato sauce and basil. And they were all combined in this dish. It was a creamymeal, rich in flavors. We added two more ingredients to the recipe. We sauteed some sliced mushrooms and added them to the tomato-cream sauce. And sprinkle over some grated parmesan.
While my husband was preparing this dish, I was preparing some cookies and madeleines batches for the week-end, despite my flu-sickness begining. Today I stayed home, I didn’t go to work, I needed rest but I could manage to post about this recipe.
Nothing more to say except it’s a yummiii savoury dish.
