This is my homemade try at the quot;Penne Rosaquot; they serve at Noodles and Co. Its not exactly the same, but it IS almost as yummy! If you do not like spicy pastas, leave out the red pepper flakes or add more if you like a little kick!
The traditional rice dish needs a long cooking time and constant stirring to get its signature creamy texture, but not with this ultra-quick and delicious shortcut!
I've been working on this recipe for years-tweaking and fussing, and I believe it is about ready. My family and friends love it. I also use it as meat sauce filling for lasagna.
