Okay y’all, I need to ask you where summer has gone? I just realized school starts back up in two weeks.

TWO WEEKS!!!

Back to the hustle and bustle of busy weeks. Both kids are in high school and the homework loads are crazy high. Do your kids spend hours on homework too?

Well, you are in luck because this year I am going to get really organized with family dinners. Last year our family was lucky to be able to sit down together twice a week. I want to make the most of that family time by creating easy dinner recipes that are ready in under 30 minutes.

Luckily, Mezzetta is making it even easier by giving away 52 Meal Kits from Chef’d!! Enter here for a chance to win! This would make those busy school nights so much easier!

The star of this easy gluten free pasta dinner recipe is this Mezzetta peperoncini. Believe it or not, this was the first time I ate a peperoncini. If you have been following my blog, you know I LOVE spicy. I am not sure why I haven’t tried one sooner.

These golden peperoncini make this pasta dish go from average to awesome! I can see this becoming one of our family go-to dinners!

Here is a fun video that walks you through all of the steps to make this delicious gluten free fettuccine recipe.

Are you ready to take this journey with me? Feel free to drop by my Facebook Group Gluten Free Recipe Share and let me know what you are making for dinner during the week! We can all get inspiration from each other!

This pasta is so easy to make!! My daughter makes a variation with a LOT of bacon. (It is pretty amazing so feel free to adapt your recipe to add bacon.)
