This pasta dish was a bit hit with the Kid Kritics. Loved the mild nutty flavor not found in regular pasta. They were especially interested to learn about the protein value of spelt. A little will keep tummies feeling full for awhile and it won’t make you feel tired.Your family with love spelt pasta!
