• if you plan to make this for meal prep, undercooking your pasta will prevent it from getting mushy and breaking apart

• you can use any orange vegetable you have on hand! sweet potatoes and kabocha work great in place of carrots

• if freezing, keep your broccoli separate and add it in when ready to eat
