Hello learner family,
Sunday are always special in our home鈥攁 day to relax, spend time with family, and enjoy good food together. It鈥檚 the one day when everyone wakes up late, takes their time, and we cherish being with each other. For my daughters, Sunday is synonymous with special meals, as they love to request their favorite dishes.
Today, their demand was clear: pasta for lunch! Luckily, I had a packet of semolina-based penne pasta in my pantry, perfect for this occasion. Let me share the recipe with you, as it turned out to be a delightful treat for all.
