OK, enough of admiring the grass on the other side that always looks a lot greener. Let’s get down to business, I mean food 🙂 As usual, I was watching Giada’s show on Food Network few days back and she was cooking for her kids. In fact, she was basically cooking with them like a training class. She prepared a lot of kid’s food, shakes and cookies. One dish that caught my attention was Mac and Cheese muffins. Can you believe this? How creative was that! I immediately knew that I had to make them sometime soon.

Every week I participate in Presto Pasta Night and this week, the event is host by Ruth. She also the original host of the event. Initially, I was thinking of making a pasta with some chicken in Indian style and add a lot of spices. Then, I changed my mind and decided to make the pasta muffins. They came out perfectly cooked. They tasted awesome and they looked awesome. Yes, Giada made those for kids, but I gave my own twist to it and made it for big kids.. us 😉 If you want to refer to Giada’s recipe, click here. The measurement I used will make approximately 15 pasta muffins. And, I would suggest to use cupcake papers as it would be easy to pull them out. I didn’t use it this time, but felt the need for it.
