Recipe Note

When nothing else in the house will make up a good snack or meal this can be vegetarian, quick, very filling, and delicious. We are always looking for high protein and fast-to-make meals and this one is our current favorite. We always have some pasta around... what's not to love? Serve hot or cold topped with your favorite salad dressing, and additional sunflower seeds, if desired.
