Notes
Pasta: use any kind of short pasta, from wheat, gluten-free, protein, chickpea, lentils. You can even use zucchini noodles to make this dish low-carb, or half regular half zoodles too. Blending the sauce: always be careful when blending hot food as the blender could get really warm. Use a kitchen towel to protect your hands.
