Notes
We tested this recipe using a frozen vegetable medly of green beans, corn and peas. However, any frozen vegetable medley will work. If using a larger size vegetable, you may what to chop the thawed vegetables first.
If you want a creamier pasta, we recommend adding in a little butter/parmesan cheese of choice!
