    YES! We could all definitely have a little more pasta in our lives, especially when it looks as this! You probably know, like you, I’m a big fan of mushrooms too and this one looks packed with them! Totally heart eyes looking at your pics right now and I just want to grab a fork and dig right in. And love the sausage touch too. I can understand why you ate it three times 😉 I would too (and then probably make it again, lol). Pinned! Cheers to a wonderful weekend, Gayle!
