Italian Pasta Stir Fry

I’m hopping around the globe these days, ha? We went to Mexico yesterday with our huevos rancheros tacos and today we’ve got one foot in Italy and the other in Asia!

This is a delightfully vegetarian dinner brimming with fresh veggies and hearty beans, swiftly stir-fried in a wok. We then toss this vibrant mix with charming bow tie pasta, aromatic herbs, and a sprinkle of cheese. This fusion of Italian flavors with a stir-fry technique creates a culinary experience that is as easy as it is delicious!
