Life is already complicated, so let’s try to cook simple.
My son is allergic to tomatoes, but yet he still loves spaghetti or angel hair pasta. So, instead of serving spaghetti with tomato sauce, I served pasta with vegetables, whatever I had in the refrigerator. No need to follow the exact instructions. Be creative.
