A buddy of mine shared this scrumptious dish with me. When my family burns out of the same old spaghetti, I like to serve this meal for a change! It provides a tasty option to the Italian variation. It’s likewise a fantastic meal when you don’t have a great deal of time to spend in the cooking area.– Mary Detweiler, Middlefield, Ohio
