Notes

My family loves to eat it with spaghetti and cover it with Parmesan with a delicous salad on the side. It also goes well with potato puree or plain cooked potatoes.
Vegeta is Croatian seasoning that uplifts the taste of your food. I use it in a lot of dishes. Although it will not taste the same, you can replace it by salt or a stock cube.
