Dinner for 4....sort of

Tonight I invited my parents over for dinner. Usually we have Sunday dinner at their house but Shane and I had a cookout to go to Sunday night...see the previous post...so I decided to invite them over last night! Unfortunately, Dad had to go to Augusta on a run and was not able to make it. So it was just Mom, Shane and I and a to-go plate for Dad.

I made this YUMMY dish!

It is the second time I have made it and let me tell you it is to die for! Especially if you like Italian dishes! I do edit it a little....I add chicken...to give it some protein, but you could throw shrimp in instead. I used angel hair pasta but I think I may use cheese tortellini the next time around (gotta try a few random things and make it your own, right?). Oh, and you may want to cut the artichoke hearts up a bit. But other than that I followed the recipe to the letter and we could not eat enough of it! I served it with oven roasted asparagus, salad, and garlic toast.
Warning, it does make a large portion! I had enough for us to eat way to much, a huge plate for Dad, a plate for Shane for lunch today and myself a lunch plate! My mouth is still watering!
