Sounds good, but do you think gluten free pasta would work? It tends to go a bit gluggy here

Sorry Vikki to be honest I've never used gluten free pasta. There is only one way to find out though I guess! I'd love to hear how it goes if you do try it. :)

This was totally awesome. My husband, who does not like pasta, loved it and said that is one to make again :) Very tasty and so very easy to do
