Can I use other veggies?

Of course! These are my favorite veggies to add in my salad, but feel free to add as many veggies of your choice. I also LOVE adding banana peppers and arugula, but didn't have any on hand =)

What's the best pasta to use?

My favorites are GF rotini, bowtie, or penne for this recipe (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});

What if I want the pasta to be a bit more creamy?
