It’s a good day to be dead, I gotta tell the other Corn Gir about this (this is so random lolll, but long story short, me and my friend are known as the Corn Girs for little to no reason and uhh ya lolll)
But fr, this looks delicious!
Stop making me hungry😭
That's actually very kid friendly minus the pepper, and they're eating tonnes of veg! 😂
I wonder what it would be like if you blend spinach, then blend roasted capsicum separately, then pour swirls of them in the pasta? It would look so pretty!
"It's cornnnnnnn" 🤣
looks great.
FOR KHORNE!
