5. Cook pasta for roughly 8-10 minutes or until you reach desired tenderness
6. 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)
7. 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!
