This recipe doesn’t contain any meat or fish, but I don’t think it really even needs any, as the pasta contains quite a bit of flavor. From the veggies, good spices of paprika, red pepper flakes, some crushed garlic andnitslian seasoning.
When you top that with a Tuscan style cram sauce, I mean it’s just comes perfectly together.
Which is why this recipe is perfect for a quick meal after work and your favorite show or movie. As this takes one pot and comes together in just roughly twenty min.
If you’d like to add in some protien, grilled salmon, or chicken, even some shrimp or Italian sasuage would be perfect with this pasta.
