This pasta is AMAZING! I was slightly skeptical when it came out of the oven but once I started stirring it got creamier and creamier and I swear it some of the best pasta I’ve ever eaten!! I’ve literally never written a recipe review before but this blew my mind.
Amazing! So glad you loved this recipe and it was a hit! xo, Alia & Radwa
