Pasta Primavera by
This recipe is for the pasta & veggies. I always fix it with breaded oven-baked chicken breasts.
Ingredients
1 1/2 c. dry Barilla Penne Pasta
Salt
2 tbsp olive oil
1 medium red bell pepper, sliced into matchsticks
1 medium yellow squash, sliced into 1/8" slices
1 medium zucchini, sliced
2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
1 cup (heaping) grape tomatoes, halved through the length
2 tsp dried Italian seasoning
1/2 cup pasta water
2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup shredded parmesan, divided
Instructions
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook penne pasta in salted water according to package directions, reserve 1/2 cup pasta water before draining.
Meanwhile heat olive oil in a 12-inch (and deep) skillet over medium-high heat.
Add bell pepper then saute 2 minutes.
Add squash and zucchini then saute 2 - 3 minutes or until veggies have nearly softened.
Add garlic, tomatoes, and Italian seasoning and saute 2 minutes longer.
Pour veggies into now empty pasta pot or a serving bowl, add drained pasta, drizzle in lemon juice, season with a little more salt as needed and toss while adding in pasta water to loosen as desired.
Toss in 1/4 cup parmesan and parsley then serve with remaining parmesan on top.
