Garden Pasta
Description
This Garden Pasta is a vibrant, healthy twist on traditional Italian comfort food. By combining tender spaghetti with a medley of fresh chopped tomatoes, crunchy celery, and sweet carrots, you create a dish that is as colorful as it is flavorful. The addition of basil, oregano, and garlic powder infuses the sauce with authentic Mediterranean aromatics, while the green onions provide a fresh, sharp finish. It’s a perfect weeknight dinner that comes together quickly without sacrificing depth of flavor.Ingredients
