Pardon me while I eat this entire dish myself….and lick it clean!

Because FOR REAL.

This Tuscan Mac is UH-mazing! The roasted red bell peppers are a lovely addition to the Italian seasoning and creamy-cheese sauce! It’s quick to put together for the oven…and while you’re at it, you might as well make a second dish because it freezes beautifully too!

Enjoy!
