When it comes to pasta my family are experts, because we eat it all the time. It is quick and relatively cheap, and my kids love it. My signature pasta dish is Pasta with Broccoli. I wish I could say it is my kids favorite, but it isn’t, as far as they are concerned the broccoli ruins perfectly good pasta. But I make it frequently anyway, since it is quick, easy and nutritious. And if you add enough parmesean cheese you can’t taste the broccoli much anyway.
