For One Pasta Duo
The website where I found the 'for one' cake recipes also has savoury dishes. Especially pasta dishes.
Like this Ham and Pea Alfredo for One ... I made it with linguine
I improvised this Turkey Cutlet Parmigiana with a quick and easy marinara sauce and one of the cutlets from my freezer.
