Add a photoIf I had to live off of one type of food for the rest of my life it would, without a doubt, be pasta! It is nearly impossible to mess up noodles and you can eat them them with pesto, marinara, vodka sauce or bolognese. I love making a large batch of this meat sauce and having leftovers for an easy weeknight dinner or to freeze for later.
