Stephanie, Happy almost Valentine’s Day! So glad about your spinach tip as it’s very important it have the water out of it before adding. Hope this is your sweetest heart holiday yet! I just finished some chocolate covered strawberries so am starting early 🙂

So hope you and yours enjoy this dish, Jeanne! I LOVE to cook and this is a fave:)

Thanks for the recipe.

Dear Debra, Oh, Wisconsites rock! I remember vividly a trip through your beautiful state when I was about 12 – and what I recall most was all that wonderful dairy! In fact, I have WI cheese in my fridge right now as it’s so good:) Love how you say ‘beautiful and adventurous years of marriage’ – 30 is a rare milestone these days. We’re coming up on 25 and I’m very thankful. Hope you enjoy this recipe if you try it. Thanks for being here – you always bring a blessing!

Mary Kay, So glad you asked! I never thought I could afford a sx meal service till an author friend recently gifted me with a free week of HELLO FRESH. I’ve had a month of meals from them now and they’re incredibly good and wholesome with lots of fresh vegetables, etc. I love to cook but was getting bored in my kitchen, making lasagna/tacos/burgers ad infinitum lol. I like HELLO FRESH so much that I recently upgraded to 4 meals a week from them instead of three. It’s a bit more costly than going to the grocery but it keeps me out of the grocery and saves me lots of time and I believe savings in the end. Plus I’m having a ball trying new recipes! They send the most beautiful recipe cards and I put them in a folder for future. To end this foodie novella here, I’ll just add this helpful link…https://blog.mint.com/consumer-iq/4-meal-delivery-services-that-probably-wont-break-the-bank-0613/

Amy, Love that pasta-soul connection – so true! I can tell you’re a fellow foodie like me:) And it’s so Valentiney being red and white lol, in addition to being delicious. Happy almost Valentine’s Day to you and your real life hero!

So glad you’re on the mend! Schools here have been closed for flu. Prayers with you. It takes awhile to regain your strength. Smiling that this recipe is not new to you but a fave, too. My hubby’s one complaint is that he wants meat in it but when I added Italian sausage it actually diminished the flavor. Go figure! Bless you for being here. You are always such a bright spot, Cindy:)

Prayers you are warm and happy in your Kentucky cabin on this cold February day. A plateful of your luscious pasta should warm you right down to the soul.

I think this will be a terrific Valentine's treat. Although my guys would gobble some up on any old day. 🙂
