We have all had this day. The day you spend in the car driving back from a weekend away. You get home, get organized, and realize it is dinner time and you can't make it until morning without eating. Today's recipe is not an ingredient list with directions. It is more like a "let me show you how to take what is in the garden and the fridge, combine the 2 in 15 minutes, and convince 3 people you had a plan all along! So here are some average measurements and a technique that you can adjust. Add some protein like leftover chicken or grilled shrimp to make it more complete. Now comes the best time of a day like this, cleaned up and ready to sit down and relax!
Pasta Primavera (not really sure if tha accurately describes this in a cooking technical sense; but m kids always believed the title!)
4-5 c. Fresh vegetables.
Pasta of choice , cooked to package directions
Olive oil
Half and half
Parmesan cheese
fresh basil
fresh basil
Salt and pepper
Sauté vegetables in a few tablespoons of olive oil. Start with harder vegetables such as onions and peppers. Continue to add vegetables such as zucchini and mushrooms. When all vegetables are soft, remove from the pan.
Add half and half, about a half of a cup. Add a few tablespoons of Parmesan and stir until melted. Return vegetables to the pan. Stir to heat through. Add cooked paste and chopped fresh basil. Heat through and serve.
In the words of my sister, "easy, Peasy."
