🍝 Noodle News: If you enjoyed last week’s actually delicious high-fiber, low-carb pasta, I’ve found Target has the best price! It even beats Amazon’s Subscribe & Save and the brand's own website.
I’ve been loving this fettucine (from our other favorite brand) with salmon Alfredo for a quick weeknight meal! I bake the salmon separately, cook the noodles, stir in Rao’s Alfredo sauce, flake in the cooked salmon (skin removed), and include some broccoli!
💌 Enjoying Klabbit? I’d love for you to share it with a friend or forward this email along! If you have any feedback, just hit “reply”—I want to hear what you find interesting and what isn’t quite working.
