Notes

You can use cassava pasta, though it does stick a lot more than the regular pasta, so be sure to grease the dish very well.

You can also use chickpea pasta, though the cooking time may vary depending on the pasta shape and cook time. You may have to adjust the liquid levels or the cooking time.
