It doesn’t take much to lift me from an all out feel-sorry-for-me-I’ve-had-a-rough-day kind of mood, and yesterday when I was having one of those days, this Butternut Spaghetti Carbonara instantly plucked me out of my self-pity and straight on to a cloud of bliss. Seriously, sometimes all it takes is a cute picture of puppies (how can that NOT lift anyone’s mood), a trashy magazine or an oversized bowl of warm pasta to bring me back. Seeing as pasta is something that makes me happy AND provides dinner at the same time, nine times out of ten I go with pasta.
