I just LOVE spending hours and hours in the kitchen; cooking, cleaning, messing up every pot and pan…I’m totally kidding! Lol!! Don’t get me wrong, I love to cook but the way my life is set up right now, I don’t have the time to spend over half of my day in the kitchen! I have two very active little boys, ages 3 and 1, and a hubby that loves my attention, so I have to keep my meals very simple and quick!!

Pasta is always a fave in our house! What’s not to like about a cheesy pasta dish?! Oh, that’s right, those darn calories and fat, right?? Lol! I completely understand being cautious of certain foods, especially when you’re on a weight loss journey, but you can still enjoy your favorite foods in moderation.

After cooking my noodles, I only used 1 skillet to make the entire dish! Talk about easy clean-up!! I always use this extra-large cast iron skillet, 15-Inch Pre-Seasoned Cast-Iron Skillet. It’s my absolute favorite!! Try this recipe tonight and spend less time in the kitchen and more time with your family!! ?
