Tomato Basil Pasta - Gluten Free
Happy Valentine’s Day!!! I hope you have a loved filled day.
I know many of you will be rushing off to have dinner with your honey tonight and need a quick meal solution for your little ones and the sitter. My children love this meal and I love how quick it is (we ate it for lunch on Saturday). The nutritional yeast acts as a great substitute for parmesian cheese…it makes the pasta sauce nice and creamy all without having to use dairy…good stuff!
