This spells cancer with capital letters
What do you consider a busy work night?
INTERESTING
Super easy dinner that takes no time for a busy weekday? I see so much prep and cleaning. Sure it tastes great
Protip this type of sauce works great in a Ninjacrispy. I do goat cheese instead – delicious
Oven tray, blender, fry pan and I assume pot to boil pasta…. Not easy clean up
What pasta is that?!
Easy? Easy in my book Does not involve heating the oven getting the blender a sheet pan cutting board pot to cook the pasta and pan to mix it in all dirty. Easy includes easy clean up.
Thank you
What seasons do you use. Could you please tell me.
Much better*
Wot can i replace cheese with thanks ??
Super ez that takes no time except all the ingredients you gotta prepare, then roast and blend and pasta to boil . And dont forget the clean up of a baking sheet, blender, pan, any measuring cups and utensils you used. Super ez!!!
Looks like yummy 😋 ❤
bro made a $10 dish with $20 ingredients
This is just soup with pasta I'm okay.
Bold of you to think I know what a shallot is and have one on hand😂😂
I don't think you understand the meaning of "takes no time."
Yea a busy weeknight if you’re a chef and that’s your job
Or open a can and enjoy your family
With the price of bell peppers this will be stupid expensive to make
