What I love most about this dish are the yummy flavors in each bite. The marinara mixed with pearly couscous with a seasoning blend that’ll make your mouth water for days after…*chef’s kiss.*
What Chef Alex loves most about this dish is that it doesn’t take up a ton of time. That old thing, time, is a luxury these days! In full disclosure, this is one of my favorite meals from Home Chef, but we’ve made it our own and have recreated it so many times since!
