Notes

Feel free to customize by adding your favorite vegetables or adjusting the spices to your taste. For a lighter version, swap regular pasta for gluten-free pasta. Store leftovers in an airtight container for 3-4 days, and reheat gently with a splash of broth or water. This dish can be frozen for up to three months—just avoid freezing if it contains dairy-based ingredients like Greek yogurt. Enjoy experimenting with ingredients, and don't hesitate to get creative with variations!
