Copycat Noodles and Company Pasta Fresca Recipe
My daughter and I love Noodles and Company. Pasta Fresca is my absolute favorite thing to get there! This dish turned out amazing! The flavor was almost spot on and it got better with every bite. I'm not even sure I will ever have to go to Noodles and Company again. I did not add meat, but grilled chicken or shrimp would be a great addition!
