the easiest spring pasta 🫛

it doesn't have peas I'm just using that emoji because there's no asparagus

hi hi! how was everyone’s long weekend? I totally forgot that there was a holiday on monday and I loooove an unexpected long weekend. having one extra day makes such a difference! anyway sorry I skipped sunday’s newsletter but I’m (hopefully) making up for it today. hope you all had a great weekend — mine was lovely with some hiking, some swimming and a few really good meals. I’m also doing lots of prep because I’m hosting a dinner party for my birthday next week!!! don’t worry I’ll be sharing a ton of dinner party content — the menu, the planning/prep, the drinks, the desserts. it’s gonna be so fun I cannot wait. I tested the cake over the weekend it was gorg.
