<h6><strong>RECIPE TIPS:</strong></h6>
<ul>
<li><strong>Make it in advance.</strong> The pasta is best made a few hours in advance as the flavors need time to infuse and blend with each other.</li>
<li><strong>Add a protein! </strong>Customise it by adding a protein of your choice (e.g. tofu, chickpeas) to make a complete meal.</li>
</ul>

<li>The pasta is best made a few hours in advance as the flavors need time to infuse and blend with each other.</li>
<li>Add a protein of your choice (tofu, chickpeas) to make it a complete meal.</li>
<li>For making pickled red peppers, take 4-5 red jalapenos (chopped in rounds); boil 1/4 cup vinegar, 1/4 cup water, 1 tsp sugar and some salt and pour it over the peppers. Cool the pickles before refrigerating.</li>
