You must think I eat pasta everyday or really love pasta. My kids actually really love pasta so I do my best to mix it up each time they ask for pasta. If I’m like any other parent out there, you would understand that when picky eaters say they like something, you feed them just that just to get them to eat. I try to diversify the meal each time so that it doesn’t appear they are eating the same thing. Believe me, a different looking pasta equates to a different meal and as a parent, my goal is create this meal in a short time a meal that’s a delight to their mouths and a treat to their bodies. You can make this with and without the meat.
