Chef’s Notes To cut costs, use whatever veggies are in season or on sale. Try different combinations like halved plum tomatoes and broccoli, or red onion and chunks of butternut squash. Or, use thawed frozen veggies. Be sure to pat dry before using. Try serving this dish with marinara sauce. Use any whole wheat pasta you like, such as penne, rigatoni, shells, or bow tie. For more heat, add ¼ teaspoon ground cayenne pepper to the veggies in step 3.
