About

Just because something looks like something else, it doesn't mean it is. Does that make sense? You know... like as a kid when you'd look at the clouds in the sky and they'd shift and suddenly resemble some animal, like a cow or a pig. This On-the-Farm Dinner could, at first glance, be confused for looking like the hay or straw you might actually feed those very farm animals, all thanks to the shape of its tasty ingredients. With just one bite though, you'll squash any trace of confusion just as quickly as we did! The al dente linguine smothered in creamy parmesan sauce and accompanied by sweet peas and savory ham will definitely leave you feeling down-home with your people... hence the name, On-the-Farm Dinner. Give this homestyle take on linguine a try the next time you need a quick and satisfying meal after a long day of work, whether you're on the farm or in the big city!
