Last year, I tried a pasta dinner that is a classic but was brand-new to me.

It started with trying out the authentic Sicilian dish at an Italian restaurant.

Then, after loving it, I sought to make my own version at home.

What’s the meal in question?

It’s cozy, packed with fiber and is perfect for my family.

Here’s why I intend on making this dish over and over again this fall.
