This is truly one of my favorite meals. It tastes like something from an Italian restaurant yet is incredibly simple to make at home. To be honest, my kids hate it. BUT – sometimes I don’t make things for them; sometimes I make things for ME! This is a perfect date night meal but is easy enough to make for a weeknight meal too!
I usually make this with some simply cooked chicken but this is also great with shrimp, Italian sausage or even without meat altogether – making this a vegetarian option too!
Of course, we use a gluten-free bowtie pasta. I really like Jovial brand (found here at Amazon or on Thrive Market). You can also make this dairy-free or vegan by using a dairy-free parmesan like Follow Your Heart brand or VioLife.
