      This reminds me of the healthier pasta version of a chicken and rice bake that we used to have for dinner! And don't peas, corn, and carrots just make everything happy 😀

        Oh, I think I've a rough idea in my head of the dish you're talking about! Yum

        But yes, in this dish I love the medley of vegetables, they just compliment the dish so well making it really bright and vibrant. 🙂

        Ha ha, brilliant, thanks Rebecca.

        Naturally we'd have to make this with gluten free pasta for you, but I'm sure you'd love it, and it WOULD make you feel all fancy and good too!
