    Don’t you love a meal that only takes 10 minutes to prep in the morning and then cooks while you are at work?

    Make this before you go to work, so when you come home, you are greeted by the smell of ragu. The mouth-watering smell drifts through the air as you throw your coat on the chair and kick off your shoes. All you have to do now is cook the pappardelle, and dinner is DONE!

    If you can’t find pappardelle, you can use Gemelli, penne, fettuccine, or if all else fails, you can order the noodles at your grocery store on amazon.
