30 minute meals are a working Mom’s best friend. This pasta dish is quick, easy and my kids love it! Truly a win-win.

I used It’s Seasoned Garlic & Herb seasoning to ramp up the spice and it did just that (I literally put it in everything!). I love their spices. They have no GMOs, MSG, artificial dyes, flavors or preservatives. They are also low in sodium as well. Other great things about Its Seasoned is that they are a small, black owned business (and the owner’s name is Whitney!). They have some great blends. Check them out!
