"The original "Pizza Margherita" was named after the Queen of Italy and was designed to be a symbol of Italian unification (the colors of the dish are red, white, and green, like the Italian flag). Margherita Pasta brings the same colors and flavors, but without needing to wait for delivery or break out the pizza stone. Tender spaghetti serves as a base for a creamy, savory sauce infused with chicken flavor and the brightness of tomatoes, and melty mozzarella and parmesan in each bite. A little basil adds some herba..."
