Enough for 500g pasta of your choice
I made this pasta yesterday, and it was very good. I did not mix all the zucchini and mushrooms because I love to have some pieces in the sauce. It was very easy to make and also delicious!
Thank you so much dear Mona! I’m very glad you liked the recipe! It’s one of my favorites 🙂
