Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 cups whole grain penne pasta
1 tablespoon olive oil
½ cup chopped onion
1 pound fresh asparagus, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
2 cups sliced fresh mushrooms
1 small yellow summer squash, halved lengthwise and sliced
2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
½ cup shredded carrot
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon red pepper flakes
½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Lemon wedges

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add penne and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat oil in an extra-large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion; cook until softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add asparagus, mushrooms, and squash; cook until just tender, about 5 minutes. Add tomatoes, carrot, garlic, oregano, black pepper, salt, and red pepper flakes; cook until tomatoes begin to soften, about 1 minute.
  • Drain penne; stir into vegetable mixture along with 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese. Top servings with remaining cheese and serve with lemon wedges.
