I love meals that come together quickly like this and I appreciate that you’ve added some great green veg to the pasta!
I have two boys, one just went to Kindergarten and the other is a toddler so I totally understand a need for a quick and easy dinner 🙂 There’s nothing better than an easy pasta with delicious tomato sauce 🙂
This pasta looks easy and delicious! I live in Rochester, Ny where Ragu started, so we are huge fans!
Quick meals are always welcome on school nights and this looks like a tasty addition to the mix.
What a easy peasy pasta recipe, loved the addition of asparagus to the pasta. Love ragu sauce, that’s my favorite
Simple is what I need for my busy family!!
I never cook with asparagus and I probably should. It would be a good veggie to add to meals!
