Join the discussionI’ve done the same thing except I add the raisins right in with the pasta….it is delicious!! Great suggestion!
I made this today and it was absolutely delicious! I am in love lol Thank you so much for sharing.
So glad to hear that Alecia!
Does this really thaw well? Had no idea you could freeze a pasta/raw veggie salad.
Yes just follow the directions under freezing directions.
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?
Laura, a few minutes (3-4) before the pasta is done cooking add the broccoli and cauliflower to the pasta and water, then drain.
