We also accidentally talked until almost eleven which is way too tired for us at this stage in our lives (they’re both pregnant), but I blame that on the pasta too. It lends itself to slow twirly bites between sarcasm and giggles and definitely begs for seconds.
It’s full of green veggies and is vegetarian, so seconds are practically mandatory.
