Cheese and Basil Rotini Pasta Dish

Last Updated on 2021-05-09 by Linda

Real life sometimes creates amazing blogging moments and it also may create extreme blogging delays.  Delays not always related to not sharing posts but rather towards posting particular posts.  Last Fall Kent created an amazing Rotini pasta dish and I totally forgot to share.  He is a huge fan of facebook videos and recreating special recipes he finds.  I hope the originator forgives me but he has since deleted the video so I cannot give appropriate credit.  If this is yours please let me know and I will give credit.

I remember this dish well, it was the labour day weekend and Kent decided to try a new dish.  Pasta with whipping cream sounded heavenly to me. Linda’s job was easy, head over to the neighbours and pick some fresh basil.  

I love having a partner that loves to cook and create.  Kent creates the meal, I create the dessert and the table setting. A couple obviously made for each other.

Try it out and let me know what you think.  We loved it.

Notes

I use homemade Spaghettti sauce but you can also use any store purchase Pasta Sauce.  I always find pasta is a personal prefereance of how sweet or spicy you wish the sauce to be.
