Mafaldine Pasta, also known as mafalda or reginette pasta, is a special kind of pasta with wavy edges and a nice thickness. It's like a little masterpiece for your taste buds.

Each bite of this dish is like a flavor party in your mouth, making you want more every time you take a forkful. So, gather your ingredients, follow this simple recipe, and enjoy every delicious moment. You won't regret it!
