Made this for my kids and it was a hit! We used a blend of chickpea & lentil pasta which they usually complain about but bec of the flavors and textures they actually liked the pasta!

I absolutely love this recipe! I cooked it so many times, and it’s always great, even with slight changes using what I have at home. It’s my favorite go to dinner, when I need a quick delicious dinner, which is still nutritious and not just junk food. Works great with whole wheat/spelt pasta too!
