Husband got back home hungry last Sunday and what was in store for us ??? A pasta dish again!!!!! We never get tired of pasta no matter which shape they are or whatever it is called. We just love them ah ! correction i just love them. Husband likes only if its not just mac and cheese. He never liked the white sauce, but he approves to make the white sauce at times when i crave for it..and i love him for that : D. But i didnt make white sauce this time, i made something more beautiful to look at, which tasted much more delicious than the mac and cheese . For this dinner i made Farfalle, which looks more like a bow or butterfly right ? My niece thinks its a bow and at times she screams buttafy !!!! and i love to call it buttafy as well : -). So ya we had buttafy for dinner and here goes the recipe
