Time – saving tip:
Onions are the base for most meals and chopping onions with small kids around is a nightmare. We find pre-chopped onions in frozen bags so convenient. We particularly <3 Dujardin Frozen onions but any other brand would do.
Cook the pasta until al dente, drain and mix with sauce for a few minutes.
Voila! You have a tasty wholesome meal for all the family… (phew)
