Chef's Tips

The secret is cooking the vegetables until they're really soft - this way they almost disappear into the pasta!
Make a big batch and freeze portions for emergency meals!

For Picky Eaters

Alternative

If they won't eat the vegetables, try blending them into a smooth sauce instead

Alternative

Start with just peas if they're nervous about mixed vegetables
