PENNE PASTA RECIPE, HOW TO MAKE PENNE PASTA



Penne pasta recipe with step by step photos – pastas and pizza …. Somethings which neither me nor hubby likes…
Question: so why this recipe of penne pasta?
Answer: sometimes, there is nothing wrong in making a recipe which one does not like.
Result: husband did not eat the Penne at all and just had the tomato mushroom sauce… And that leaves me to eat the penne… Which I obviously cannot… So there was the penne in the fridge which I had to have the next day. So I combined it with pesto and it was great.
But for all pasta lovers this recipe is a treat. I remembered all my friends who love pasta when I made this Italian recipe.
