To take this dish to the next level.
We suggest you add a protein and some feta cheese, great options for your proteins would be:
- Fry some streaky bacon and chop it to your desired size and add it to your pasta mix.
- Fincelly slice some chicken fillets (we recommend thighs) with your favourite seasoning (we recommend DEWliscious Braai Spice or Italian Herbs for this) and toss it with your meal.
- Cook a whole steak of your choice, and to your liking (we recommend Sirlion, medium rare with DEWliscious Braai Spice, Garlic and Butter), slice it and serve it on top.
