Instructions
Bring 1 litre of water to a boil in a large pot. Add a pinch of salt and cook the penne pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain the cooked pasta and set aside.
Heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the grated ginger and minced garlic. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the sliced red bell pepper, julienned carrot, and broccoli florets to the skillet. Stir-fry the vegetables for 5-7 minutes, or until they are tender-crisp.
Stir in the soy sauce, fresh lemon juice, red chili flakes, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to coat the vegetables evenly.
Add the cooked penne pasta to the skillet and toss everything together. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to combine.
