This fall I was determined to create the ultimate Autumn Spice Pasta recipe. If you know me at all you’re probably thinking–what? She doesn’t cook. You’re right, I’m actually pretty awful in the kitchen. However, every once in awhile I get the crazy urge to actually put my kitchen to use! Well with a lot of trial and error–I found it y’all. My Mom even said it was good and you know if Mama says it’s good, it’s good. I combined your typical pasta ingredients with a few fall favorites to give it the ultimate twist. When you first look at the ingredients list you might be like, what? BUT trust me, don’t knock it until you try it. Plus, any pasta made with Barilla® Pasta is hard to disappoint. 😉 It provides the balanced nutrition families need to live a healthy, fun filled lifestyle!

Okay, let’s talk about this recipe y’all. It literally took about 5 minutes to prep and another 20 to cook. Seriously SO easy and family friendly! It’s perfect for the holiday season especially. I actually made it for an early holiday dinner we had last week. It’s a pasta I would recommend to anyone to take to a holiday party or make for your own! It’s so easy to make and it has all the right ingredients that everyone will love!
