Gabriela's tips
Small changes that make this recipe easier to fit into real life.
Save the cooking water
Reserve a mug of starchy cooking water before draining; a splash helps the sauce cling and keeps the finished dish silky.
Make it your own
Use the vegetables you already have and keep the same cooking method; this recipe is flexible enough for practical substitutions.
