Notes
- Leave some bigger bits of veggies for more texture
- Use any veggies of choice, this dish is completely customisable
- Sprinkle with seeds for extra crunch!
- Best when eaten fresh, doesn’t stay super well if you reheat it.
- Spicy? This pasta works SO well with some red chili flakes sprinkled on top.
