A satisfying bowl to pasta is what you crave for on a lazy afternoon. It is loaded with flavours and smokiness of roasted tomatoes and garlic. I topped it with beetroot micro greens for just the right amount of crunch.
It is a great way to hide and consume greens. I have added spinach in this for the additional health quotient in this recipe.
As I write this I post, I am once again craving for it and I guess my dinner tonight is sorted.
