Adam and I sat down Sunday to plan our meals for the week and I turned to some cookbooks for new inspiration. This was a recipe that was at the beginning of the pasta section. Adam said “OH yum make that” So I did.

I wasn’t very impressed with this recipe, although it was simple to whip together it reminded me of hamburger helper with the fake cheesy sauce. Adam on the other hand LOVED it! Saying it was one of the best pasta recipes I have made in a long time… I guess it’s all about your taste buds.

I did use my homemade tomato soup instead of canned. And fresh mushrooms instead of canned.
