It seems like a lot of evenings lately I’ve had a lot of meal time barriers. By that I mean team practices, after school clubs, homework, class projects and the other everyday tasks that can interrupt dinner preparation. My husband and I agree that having a family dinner is important, so I do my best to make a home-cooked meal no matter how hectic things become. I’ve found on those busy nights, a pasta meal is the perfect solution for dinner time.

.When I make a pasta dinner for the family, I’m able to multitask. I can cook the pasta, help my daughters with their homework, make a sauce and side salad, set the dinner table, etc. It usually takes about 10-12 minutes to cook the pastas we like and it’s the perfect amount of time for me to get those other quick tasks out of the way and get ready for the meal.

Tonight my husband was working late, both daughters had extra homework because of a school festival last night, my son fell and bumped his head and needed cuddling. It was a great night to make a quick and easy pasta meal, so I chose the Three Cheese Tortellini in Sage Brown Butter Sauce.
