*I made some pasta noodles to go with.

*This should be what it looks like when finished~ Now i hope this is what your having for dinner tonite. If so its sooo good~ 

* We added to the plate after it was done some crushed red pepper to make it spicy~ my 4 yr old would not eat it if it is spicy~ lol~ but it adds a great kick for the spicy fans out there~ also some cheese on top is really good too~

* Oh yeah garlic bread to make it a complete meal. ENJOY!!
