Father's Day is a very special celebration. Unfortunately, I did not meet my dad but I had many uncles who loved me as if I was their daughter. Throughout my life, I have had the pleasure of meeting men who are model fathers; but my husband, Juan Ernesto, is number one on my list. That is why today I want to spoil him. Juan Ernesto loves pasta; he is from Cuba, but he says he was Italian in another life. A delightful Mexican-style pasta marinara is easy to prepare, very tasty and your kids can help you prepare it!
