HOW TO MAKE IT:
- Heat up a large frying pan on medium heat and add your extra virgin olive oil, diced pepper, onion, zucchini, and mushrooms

- Add your jar of favourite pasta sauce, chilli flakes and nutritional yeast to the frying pan. Stir to combine all ingredients
- While your sauce is simmering, start to boil your water for your pasta in a large pot and add a pinch of salt to your water
- Cook pasta for roughly 8-10 minutes or until you reach desired tenderness
- Strain pasta and pour back into the same large pot, you can now pour your sauce overtop of noodles. Gently stir to combine (We like to save a little sauce to top my bowl with once it’s plated)
- Plate your pasta and top with a little extra sauce and a sprinkle of your favourite vegan shredded mozzarella and enjoy! This recipe is a great way to use up veggies in the fridge, you can also add a splash of olive oil to a pan and fry up your leftover pasta for a quick, easy, and delicious lunch the next day!
