  4. For the freezer version……So I add the broccoli and cauliflower to the pot of boiling noodles and drain immediately? or do I let it cook the veggies for a bit?

    1. Laura, a few minutes (3-4) before the pasta is done cooking add the broccoli and cauliflower to the pasta and water, then drain.
