This veggie pasta is DELICIOUS!  My kids demolish it every single time, without a doubt, they gobble it down without taking a breath in between.  I sit there with a big smile on my face because this pasta dish is packed with vegetables, basically, that’s what it is… one big bowl of vegetables #winning

You can even make your own vegetable stock paste  and chicken bone broth if you liked!

We hope your family loves it as much as ours.

TIP:  If you don’t have any bone broth use chicken stock, just make sure it’s MSG and preservative-free.
TIP: You can also leave out the yeast flakes, however, it won’t go as creamy or have a cheesy type taste. You could add in some shredded cheese (approx 50g instead).
TIP: Instead of pasta, you could use fresh zoodles.
