Is This Really the Most Popular Pasta Dish in Texas?
I bet one thing we can all agree on is that pasta is frickin’ awesome.
From ravioli to spaghetti to fettuccine and everything in between, there’s something to love for everyone.
And while I like ‘em all, lasagna is my absolute favorite. My mom used to make it for me every year for my birthday growing up and I looked forward to chowing down on it just about as much as getting gifts.
This Sunday (October 17) just so happens to be National Pasta Day, which means we pretty much have to indulge our carb cravings by treating ourselves to some pasta.
