A high veggie to noodle ratio is my personal preference, but you can adjust as necessary. Make about 6 cups (prepared) of a pasta, grain, or couscous, and chop enough vegetables to total 3 – 4 cups. Use whatever vegetables you like, just combine them all into a reasonable sized pile and add to your couscous. We happened to have snow peas, sun-dried tomatoes, green onions, bell pepper, and celery. They all went in the bowl!<\/p>\n
