It’s no mystery that pasta is a staple in Italian cuisine. A lot of families I know will eat it at least once a day, usually for lunch. We are definitely not one of those families as I would just get too bored with cooking the same thing every day, so we stick to once a week and even then I try to mix it up with a different sauce each time. I always try to make our family meals as nutritionally balanced as possible, incorporating carbs, protein and veg. That’s what this super simple and quick recipe does!

  “American” measurements are called “imperial.” Most of the world uses metric, grams etc. The conversion can be googled.

  Thanks for the feedback. I forgot to change to change it to cups, as, living in Europe, my original recipe is in grams. I have now changed it so it's easier to follow for Americans. Hope it helps

  Hi Stephanie You can find all weights and measures from most countries by Googling it. You can also purchase European measuring jugs and spoons on Amazon or kitchen shops. It will expedite things for you.
