It is still soup weather in the mid west, and we are loving it. This winter stormy weather keeps us inside, focusing on our family and creating memories together.

We love the delicate balance of the Italian sausage, pasta, fresh veggies, and herbs that come together quite beautifully in this recipe....

I sometimes let him get away with eating his portion raw whilst I’m chopping the veggies for dinner....
