Whenever Paula's kids have friends over after school, they get to choose what's on the menu. Every time she hears those two simple words, 'pasta please', she turns to her Richmond Chicken Sausage spaghetti because she knows it's always a winner. She also manages to sneak in hand-picked yellow peppers, fresh spinach and tender peas, so not only do all the kids win, she does too. See method
