In fact, according to the US Department of Transportation, the Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s holiday periods are officially the busiest long-distance travel periods of the year. During the six day Thanksgiving travel period, the number of long-distance trips (to and from a destination 50 miles or more away) increases by 54 percent compared to the average number the rest of the year.
Although some people may think all pasta dishes are loaded with carbs and cheese, this recipe proves them wrong.
