Notes

Tips
  • Feel free to change up the seasoning to suit your taste. For example, use your favourite Italian Seasoning mix, or swap the oregano for fresh basil and thyme.
  • I cut up Violife Original Slices, but you can also buy the Violife Original Block and grate it yourself at home. Or to save time, pick up a bag of Violife Original Grated and just mix it right in.
  • Want more veggies? Chopped spinach, diced bell pepper or sautéed mushrooms are all great additions.
  • And for those who like a little heat, add in some red chilli flakes.
