Vegetarian pasta
Description
The recipe won't take much time. Traditionally, pasta is prepared with a meat sauce. However, there are people who, based on their principles, don't eat meat and replace it with various vegetables. Without meat, the dish doesn't become any worse—in fact, it gains a unique flavor. I'd like to offer you my recipe. Serve hot.

Step 8
Add the pasta to boiling water, cook it almost until done, then rinse with water (if you cook the pasta completely, the hot sauce may cause them to lose their appealing appearance and taste). Check the pasta's readiness by simply taking one piece out and tasting it. Transfer the pasta to a bowl, pour in a couple of tablespoons of sunflower oil, and mix well to prevent sticking.
