Notes

  • Notes 
  • If you have an herb or ghee butter, use it! It’ll be delicious. You can substitute the mozzarella and butter in this recipe for your favorite vegan options- along with the vegan mozzarella, add extra nutritional yeast to bring out that cheesy flavor! Customize this pasta like Dwayne Johnson and add your preferred protein option to the dish! Swap the Spaghettini for spaghetti or your preferred pasta shape OR use gluten-free pasta! Store the pasta in the fridge for 4 – 5 days, and reheat to serve!
