Pasta with Vegetables (Modified)

I was invited to celebrate a friend’s birthday at this not-so-vegan-friendly restaurant, which happens sometimes, but I always manage to find something! This dish was from the vegetarian menu though I had to ask for it without the pesto sauce and cheese. They dressed it with oil, as their tomato sauce contains chicken broth so it’s not an option. It was a simple but fairly large portion of pasta 🍝 and veggies. Unfortunately it lacked flavor, so I had to add a good bit of of salt, pepper, vinegar, and red pepper flakes 🔥, which made it much better. While this dinner was definitely overpriced and lacked flavor, I was thankful to eat a nutritious meal and spend time with friends!
