Jollof is one of the most popular dishes in West Africa, and while it's typically made with rice, in this dish Chef Pierre takes the sauce and flavors of jollof and mixes them into al dente pasta instead. This vegetable-filled version features carrots, zucchini, red bell peppers and cherry tomatoes all in the sweet, slightly smoky, umami-filled sauce. Garnished with fresh Italian parsley, this dish is sophisticated yet ultra comforting.
