Recipe Variations
Pasta Shapes: You can use any type of pasta that you have on hand, but we've found that flat or round pasta like bowtie pasta or penne pasta works best.
Seasonings: Feel free to be creative with the seasonings some great options are: garlic powder, black pepper, onion powder, or even cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes.
Cheese: Not a fan of dairy free parmesan cheese? Use nutritional yeast to still get that cheese flavor without actually using cheese.
