What is it about the simple things in life? You know what I mean. The things that are unassumingly the best part of your day. The sun coming out exactly when you step outside, your baby’s laughter exactly when you need it, that unexpected phone call with good news, Jake still being alive in Scandal. Whew.
This pasta is that. It’s almost embarrassingly simple. We’re talking five ingredients including the pasta. It comes together beautifully; think parmesan cradled noodles, and all that’s left to do is pour yourself a good glass of wine and indulge. You just made yourself grown up mac and cheese which, obviously, has now become the best part of your day.

Can’t wait to make, been wanting this recipe have only had at restaurants. Thank you
That’s how my daughter will eat pasta – no red sauce, sometimes alfredo, but for the most part just good parm, salt, pepper and olive oil – yum!
I am loving our touch of summer weather!
