If you’re super lazy and love pasta, this meal is for you. You get a salad, a healthy dose of veggies and creamy pasta all in one amazing dish. If you’re not down for the veggie meal, you can always add in sausage or bacon to get a little protein boost. Otherwise, this super simple meal is your ticket to impressing your friends and skipping out on meat for a night. It has enough flavor and volume to stand proudly on its own.
