What seems to be a combo of random ingredients turned out to be a quick and tasty lunch.
This is soooo good!!!! Love the sauce❤️
Really quick and delicious. I used more vinegar in the dressing and swapped the pepper with Ajvar, since that is what I had at home. Yummy! :)
I bought gluten free noodles. It taste good but feel I need a little more sauce. However, I don’t follow measurements exact with the remainder of the dish as I use the eyeball method.
We really enjoyed this recipe! I would just add some garlic with the zucchini and then it's perfect! ❤
Komplex taste, easy to make - really good food rainbow in a bowl ❤️
I'm excited to have this for lunch tomorrow!
Made this as part of the meal prep menu and boy did it pop off 😍 a great start to the week!!
Perfect and quick weeknight dinner
Could we also get a weight for the carrot like you provided for the zucchini?
I think this was my favorite of the whole meal prep. So saucy!
It was great! I didn't include the vinegar though - but still thought the recipe turned out wonderfully!
Really appreciate how easily this came together once prepped. Pleasant enough taste and texture. Will probably save this one to try again during the summer months when I’m more keen to a cold meal.
I made this as part of the meal prep plan. It’s delicious. And a lot if it, so plenty left for lunch for tomorrow. I used whole wheat penne to reduce the carbs ‘ effect.
This meal prep video came at the perfect time! First impressions are excellent! This is a very tasty pasta salad, prepping was indeed done in an hour and it was also super cheap! Thank you for the great content 🙂
I did the meal prep in a leisurely 1.5 hours and had the pasta salad for dinner. It was an effortless toss together and so good. It will feel like a ‘no cook’ week!!
Absolutely delicious and great base for other meals. I think it will be my favorite meal for work ;)
Thank you so much for the video and the recipes! It's a real gamechanger for busy weeknights. Especially the grocerielist and prepping shared components is very helpful ♥️
