How many times you have made pasta super delicious but without cheese or APF. It’s like a revelation. Pasta can be healthy too. I add a lot of veggies in my pasta to make it healthier.
The super crunchy top is what makes it yummy. Ofcourse you can add cheese if you want but I was out of cheese thus the changes and to my surprise it was a hit.
Please do try it without cheese, it does deliver.
