Small gestures like this one can really make you feel so loved and cared for, teaching you a love language through food.  

 Nothing says I love you more than a home cooked meal. From picking out a recipe that you think they’ll love, to seeing their faces when they finally try it, the thought and affection put into it is what makes it such a meaningful  gift. Because of this, we wanted to share with you a delicious recipe that we’re sure your special someone will love. It is also so simple to prepare. The main ingredients are your favorite type of pasta, bacon, parmesan cheese, and some Chile de Arbol flakes. We hope you and your loved one enjoy it!
