Today I wanted to share a recipe for the most delicious pasta that I made a few weeks ago. I’m the only vegetarian in my family and when I cook for everyone, I have to figure out how to make something for both the meat eaters and myself. This particular recipe I used Quorn chicken cutlets for myself and chicken for everyone else.
