Yield 4-6 people

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 cups dry pasta (rotini, farfalle, shells, penne, etc. - something chunky, preferably whole wheat/grain)
3 tbsp + 6 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, separated
2 large shallots (or 1 medium onion), chopped
5-8 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
2 cups fresh broccoli florets (or 3 cups rapini), coarsely chopped
1 medium zucchini, quartered and sliced
3 oz (3 tbsp) sundried tomatoes, chopped
4 cups fresh spinach, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup fresh basil, chopped
Salt and pepper, to taste
1/4 cup parmesan or romano cheese, grated

Steps:

  • Fill a large saucepan or medium stockpot half full with water. Add a dash of salt and olive oil (optional). Bring to a boil. Add pasta. Cook pasta until approximately 8-10 minutes, or to preferred tenderness. Drain and set aside. In a large skillet or sauté pan, heat 3 tbsp oil over medium-low heat. Add shallots and garlic. Cook until shallots are translucent, about 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Stir in sundried tomatoes and cook for an additional minute. Pour in half of the remaining olive oil. Add the broccoli and zucchini. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until the broccoli is just cooked. Add spinach and cook stirring until spinach is wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Add basil and the remainder of oil, and cook for 1-2 minutes. Stir cooked pasta, salt, and pepper in with vegetables. Remove from heat. Separate into pasta serving bowls. (This should make 4 servings if no accompanying dishes are being served, 6 with sides.) Sprinkle with 1-2 tbsp cheese per serving.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, high-quality vegetables. This will make a big difference in the taste of your dish.
  • Cut your vegetables into uniform pieces. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. If you add too many vegetables at once, they will steam instead of sauté.
  • Use a high-quality olive oil. This will help to bring out the flavor of the vegetables.
  • Season your vegetables well. Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all good choices.
  • Don't overcook your vegetables. They should be tender-crisp, not mushy.
  • Serve your sautéed vegetables immediately. They are best when they are fresh out of the pan.

Conclusion:

Sautéed vegetables and pasta is a quick, easy, and delicious meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables, and it can be easily customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can make a sautéed vegetables and pasta dish that is sure to impress your family and friends.
