I eat cheese.
Like a lot of cheese.
In fact if the world was ending, I think all I would need to survive is a dairy cow. I’ve never milked a cow or churned butter, but if there is anyone that could find a way to do that, I would. Because I pretty much can’t live without dairy products.
And with dairy, comes pasta.
And no, I will never have the perfect body. Be totally rail thin… because I just can’t live without cheese or pasta.
And this pasta, I can’t buy anymore, because all the restaurants closed down. So I had to find a copy cat recipe to make it myself. And there were so many, so I just mixed and matched and called it good. And it’s pretty much heaven on earth. And a heart attack in a bowl. But totally worth it if you ask me!
