Pasta With Butter and Cheese
July is always my busiest month, with so little free time during the day, dinner is the last thing on my mind. That’s where pantry staples come in. With just a few items from the pantry, a quick dinner using under 5 ingredients can be on the table in no time!
Spaghetti, garlic, butter and cheese are all that’s needed to make Pasta With Butter and Cheese. Using the boiling pasta water lets the pasta make its own sauce and the flavors are irresistable. This simple and satisfying meal is one of the kid’s favorites.
