This pasta dish is from *SOUTHERN LIVING CHRISTMAS EDITION* It's super delicious! I made it for my family a few Christmas's ago.. it was a huge hit! I use frozen brocoli and steam it on top of the boiling noodles. (yes, I finally found a use for the expensive pot from my wedding that has the fitted steamer inside :) Very yummy!
