Grandma's Secret Tip
Grandma's Secret Tip
Grandma was fond of varying the pasta by adding different vegetables. She might substitute broccoli for the snow peas, or sliced yellow squash for the mushrooms. And to make it a main dish, she would add shredded cooked chicken. Or she kept it vegetarian, but doubled the recipe.
Serving Suggestion
Serving Suggestion
