Pasta Primavera

Essential Everyday

12 ounces whole wheat rotini

1/3 cup olive oil

½ cup chopped fresh broccoli

½ cup chopped yellow bell pepper

½ cup chopped red bell pepper

½ cup chopped red onion

1 medium zucchini, halved and sliced

2 tablespoons chopped garlic

¾ cup shredded Parmesan cheese

2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil

I would love to have a dress in these colors. 


Prepare pasta according to package directions; drain.

Meanwhile, in large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add broccoli, bell peppers, onions, zucchini, summer squash and garlic. Salt and pepper to taste. Saute vegetables until tender (about 8-10 minutes).

Toss vegetables with pasta, Parmesan cheese and basil.

Plus garlic bread!


Tip: Serve with sauteed shrimp or chicken, if desired.


My Rating: 4/5 "Great veggie flavors without an acidic sauce! That's a pretty sweet opportunity. I definitely added more Parmesan than the recipe recommended, but not enough to drown out the nice produce flavors. It's a pleasant little dinner!"
