Pasta Inverno (Winter Vegetable Pasta) image

A delicious and economical twist on a pasta primavera, this winter dish has been a favorite of vegetarian clients for years. It was born from a Sicilian side dish for Pumpkin Agrodolce (literally sour and sweet), taught to me by one of my first master chefs, but this is a meal that stands alone.

Time 1h5m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 pound whole grain bow-tie pasta
½ cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 cups peeled, seeded, and cubed winter squash
1 sweet onion, diced
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 cup fresh green beans, cut into 1-inch pieces
½ cup pitted kalamata olives
2 tablespoons minced garlic
3 cups torn fresh spinach
½ cup red wine vinegar
3 tablespoons white sugar
1 tablespoon minced fresh basil
½ teaspoon sea salt, or to taste
½ teaspoon cracked black pepper, or to taste
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook bow-tie pasta at a boil, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, 8 to 9 minutes. Drain.
  • Heat olive oil in a deep skillet over high heat. Add winter squash, onion, and red bell pepper; cook, stirring with a wooden spoon and scraping the bottom of the skillet, until browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in tomatoes, green beans, olives, and garlic. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until green beans are tender, about 10 minutes.
  • Stir spinach, red wine vinegar, sugar, basil, salt, and black pepper into the skillet. Cook and stir until spinach starts to wilt, about 1 minute. Add drained pasta; cook and stir until tender and coated with sauce, about 3 minutes. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top and toss well.
