Yes...it's worth blogging about!

So, my favorite dish at Macaroni Grill is Pasta Milano. One day I came home and my husband was cooking supper and it smelled SO GOOD! He would not let me go in the kitchen to see what he was making. When it was time for dinner, I took one bite and I knew immediately what I was eating...PASTA MILANO! At first, I thought he went and bought it and then warmed it up, BUT NO...he made it from scratch. Well, we made it yesterday for our core group and it was definitely a hit. Everyone wanted the receipe, so here you go. The only warning I have is that the clean up is not so much fun. We used four different pans, but I promise you it is worth it. Hope you enjoy!

Way to go, Hal! I think I would pass out if I came home and Bert cooked such a good dinner. Poor thing, he can make a mean french toast though. Thanks for sharing, Maghan!
