My days are pretty busy, as are yours I'm sure. Sometimes I don't have much time to get lunch (or dinner) on the table and I definitely refuse to feed my kids or daycare kids processed chicken nuggets,etc. Even if it takes me longer to prepare, I appreciate knowing exactly what's going into their stomachs.
I love meals like this where I can be done in 15-20 minutes start to finish. I made this for lunch the other day and every kid gobbled it up! They're tummies were full and I was happy that they were eating something nutritious and filling. We even got to spend more time outside since it was so simple to put together....talk about happy kiddos.
To make mealtime even more fun, let them choose which toppings they'd like to include with their pasta. Enjoy!
