Happy Friday Everyone! Today I’m back with another recipe. Two new recipe who is dis girl. Since Ant has been going. I have actually been cooking more. Plus having fun trying out new recipe. Last week I gave my hand at the tik Tok pasta. I don’t have a tik Tok or do tik Tok but this recipe has been every where.

This recipe was super easy to make. Baby girl unfortunately didn’t want to try it at all. Since didn’t up eating pasta that I had made a few night prior. If I make this recipe again. Definitely will be using regular noodle and not gluten free. The only reason I used the gluten free noodle. Is due to we had them in the cabinet for Ant. I also ended up over cooking the noodle as well. Also I might try adding some chicken to this recipe as well.

HAVE A GREAT FRIDAY!
