It's quick, easy, and flexible to whatever veggies you have on hand.

"The flavor of this pasta is light and fresh and can be the jumping off point for any number of variations," says Beth Moncel of Budget Bytes. And if you're only cooking for one? "This recipe is great because you can make just one serving at a time or multiple. It's very forgiving so you don't even really need to measure the ingredients."
