This recipe uses extra vegetables so you can use less pasta. It’s really delicious and has a nice pleasing way of making you feel full (pasta, vegetables, and cheese do that though I guess). The best part about this recipe is that it doesn’t take much effort and if you have leftover cooked pasta around it’d be even less effort.
