Sometimes I just need to give DH good old time comfort food and this was just the thing. I made a half recipe and he finished off half of that and there is a lunch size serving in the fridge for whoever gets to it first. I'm 3 days away from my monthly shopping so I used the canned mushrooms. I even used the whole wheat pasta here with not a complaint from DH (very cool). Loved the one pot clean up to. In short this is easy, yummy and will please the whole family. Served with a salad, canned peaches and ice cream for dessert.

I love great food and I particularly like trying cuisines new to me! Although I don't prepare as much food as I used to, creating in my kitchen is still one of my favourite things to do. Enjoy!
