No Bake Nutella Balls (chocolate truffles)

Super Quick Pasta Ideas

There are 3 really easy dishes I make on nights when I don't really feel like cooking. My kids love pasta so this really works for us. Make sure the pasta is hot so the butter melts.

3. Mix cooked pasta with olive oil, crumbled feta and seeded/chopped Kalamata olives. You could probably add diced tomatoes to this one.
