It was a package of Angel Hair that said 8 servings. 3 people ate it and
there is a small amount left but... Husband ate it twice. I'm sure there
would be *none* left had I left more here for him but... My mom told me
that she hadn't shopped. She doesn't keep much food in the house at all.
And doesn't really cook. And we thought my husband was working tonight
(turns out that was wrong) so I offered to bring her dinner. I made some
macaroni and cheese as well just in case she and Angela disliked the pasta
but both love it! Both really love garlic. And husband prefers to eat this
kind of pasta leftover and often cold. So... I will likely make it again
in a couple of weeks but double the amount that I make. This will be a good
thing to leave in the fridge when I can't be here to cook. It is something
he will dish up for himself. So win win all around!
