If you love shawarma and you love pasta, this dish does NOT disappoint! It's so easy to make and a definite crowd pleaser. You can add as many or little vegetables as you like and make it your own. I like to make a BYOB (built your own bowl) station where everyone can custom add their favorite toppings and sauces and enjoy this masterpiece.
