Rich Tomato and Chicken Pasta

It’s always the small, simple things that can make the biggest difference….

Heartfelt hugs,

A stunning sunset,

Messages from friends asking how you are,

An ‘I love you’,

The feeling of a project complete,

A walk in nature,

Freshly painted toenails,

…. and a final addition of red wine in a pasta sauce!

I love my pasta sauces to be rich and tasty and kid-friendly – this recipe fits the bill. The wine takes it to the next level.

It’s just so simple, as the best things often are…
