Hi, this look delish but I can’t find a print button to print it off! 🙁
Hi,
I made this because I like anything Italian. I did change the recipe a bit. I added an extra cup of carrots, celery, zucchini, spinach and added 2 tsp. garlic powder and 1 tsp. Italian seasoning to add more flavor. Towards the end instead of 1 cup of pasta, I added an extra 1/2 cup. This turned out like a vegetable stew and It was so delicious. Especially topped with parmesan cheese!
Thanks for sharing this recipe!
Mmmm! Great additions Karen!
