All of summer's best flavors in one bowl of.... pasta!
The beauty of this dish (other than the vibrant vegetables)? It takes less than twenty minutes from start to finish!
The vegetables simmer down in your broth of choice and with a touch of miso paste and vegan parmesan, a creamy pasta sauce forms!
This dish is super easy, versatile, and one that will please the whole family! Swap out the veggies, the grain, or opt out of the grain! You can't go wrong.
