Pregnancy has thrown my body for a loop in so many ways, one of them being my appetite. I have gone from loving food to hating it to loving it again; it's a vicious cycle. There is one food group that has consistently sounded good throughout each stage of pregnancy, and that's carbs. Give me all the carbs, please!

I set out to find recipes to appease the new food group that I cannot seem to get enough of, but I also didn't want to be stuck in the kitchen for hours on end. Quick, simple, and delicious is the name of the game! 

Whether you are pregnant like me or just a busy lady on the go (that's all of us, right?), I want to share a new recipe that has quickly become a go-to of mine: Creamy Garlic Pasta It's hearty, hot, and takes about 10 minutes to throw together. It is the perfect weeknight meal for busy moms on the go, pregnant ladies, or just anyone who loves a good home-cooked dinner (that's all of us too, right?). 



Ingredients:

2 teaspoons olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
4 cloves of garlic, minced
8 oz La Moderna penne pasta
1 cup Parmesan cheese
1 cup heavy cream
a pinch of pepper
diced parsley for garnish

Directions:

1. Cook La Moderna penne pasta according to the instructions on the box. Once cooked, drain and set aside. 
2. In a large skillet over medium heat, add oil and butter. Stir together until butter is melted, and add minced garlic. 
3. Mix in pasta, Parmesan cheese, pepper, and a few sprigs of parsley. 
4. Slowly add cream and stir together to combine. 
5. Top with additional parsley and enjoy!




Most of these ingredients are already in your kitchen (score!). For any that you don't have, stop by your local Walmart. That's where I found the La Moderna high protein pasta and picked up a loaf of fresh garlic bread to compliment the main entree. Serve this pasta with a little bread and your favorite veggie, and you have a delicious meal the whole family will enjoy!
