My sister texted me a yummy pasta dish she created. I didn’t get the exact measurements for everything, but we tried it out and here is what we came up with (and it was GOOD!):

Sweet and Savory Pasta Recipe:

  • about 1 Tbsp. minced garlic
  • 3 zucchinis, chopped
  • 1/2 tsp. dried rosemary
  • 1/4 tsp. salt
  • cooked meatballs (however many you want to make – we made 9), warmed in the microwave
  • about 4 Tbsp. coconut milk
  • about 1 Tbsp. honey
  • about 1 C. artichoke pesto marinara sauce
