About this recipe and some memories!
If you want to get your kids eat vegetables, then this Pasta in Creamy Green Pepper Sauce is a perfect healthy way to it. This pasta has creamy green pepper sauce with roasted vegetables.
When it comes to my Kids meals, I resort to making either pizzas or pastas. My kids love pastas and when I include cheese it becomes even more easy. Since I already have a white sauce pasta and tomato pasta, wanted to try something different. I picked out a sauce with Red bell pepper, however, I ended up making a green capsicum sauce.T
To make it even more interesting, I told Konda that she was going to judge the new sauce I am making. She was all excited and couldn't wait to taste it knowing it was going to have loads of cheese as well.
The dish came out smelling heavenly! Kids couldn't wait for the pictures to be taken before driving into to it!
