♥ What I love about this Alfredo basil pasta dinner recipe is, the easy cleanup, only one skillet 🙂

To make this alfredo basil pasta dinner, you cook the pasta first. Then using the same skillet add everything else except mozzarella. Cook until the sauce starts to bubble and the cheese has melted. Stir in the pasta, top with mozzarella and bake for 15 minutes. How easy is that? This gluten-free pasta dinner is for a lazy night, don’t you agree?
