Two Paws Up Pasta

Pasta is always a good idea. Especially when your local grocery store has recently had a sale and you now have a pantry packed with pasta. This pasta dish is hearty and full of flavor! And guess what? It's not even hard.

Not only did the humans who tasted it love it, but one of Katrina's cats had a sneaky sample from one of the kids. She gave it two paws up - now you know you have to try it when it bears the kitty seal of approval.

Aren't Katrina's kitties the cutest?! Leia and Vader 💓
