Actually, even make Homemade Bow Tie Pasta and it's pretty easy to do them.
The dough is delicious, however, you can certainly use the supermarket brand.
Check the ingredients and make this quick mock lasagna that everyone in my family loves.
Perfect for even a take-along for a side dish at any picnic gathering.
Traditions
It wouldn't be Sunday without eating some kind of macaroni, meatballs, and sausage.
This comes together quick and easy and leftovers are fabulous too!
I like to make this often at Thanksgiving as a side dish, everyone always loves a side of pasta!
Traditionally my Grandma always made bow ties from scratch and we made them once a year around Easter or Christmas.
Love How Pretty These Look!
When I was a little girl, I only asked mom to make this pasta, I always thought it was so such a pretty pasta.
I actually still to this day still feel the same way.
