Instructions:
- Cook the Pasta: In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- Sauté the Veggies: Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant (about 1 minute). Toss in the mixed veggies (including mushrooms and roasted capsicum) and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until tender but still crisp.
- Make the Sauce: Reduce heat to low and pour in the cream. Stir until the sauce is smooth. Season with salt, pepper, and dried herbs if used. Mix in the spinach cooked in Napoli sauce.
- Combine and Serve: Add the cooked pasta to the pan and toss until well coated with the sauce. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
- Serve: Dish out your veggie pasta, top with a sprinkle of grated cheese, and enjoy!
Cooking Time: 20 minutes
Tip: For a creamier sauce, add an extra splash of milk or more cheese.
