This is one of our all-time favorite pasta recipes. It is so similar to the one from Pasta House. I am not kidding. Both creamy and flavorful. Yum! Not to mention it’s so easy to make. This makes a huge pot, so make sure you invite the company over to share. Or be prepared to have leftovers for days. You can also cut the recipe in half. I like making this on a Sunday evening for dinner because it makes great leftovers for the week. dinner. Remember it makes a lot.
