Introduction

This tastes amazing! They don't seem to have a pasta catagory so i put it under sides. if you want it as a full meal just double it up. It has carbs, veggies and i think protien too (chick peas). Served with a small salad you can have a whole, filling meal for about 400 cals. This tastes amazing!
