Pasta Primavera Recipe

Pasta Primavera

From rrobby 15 years ago

I formulated this recipe to appeal to my vegetarian students as well as the carnivores in our group. Everyone thought it was a hit.

Toss grape tomato halves in olive oil and salt and pepper and roast at 400 degrees until soft and just darkening
Cut all vegetables into bite sized pieces
Blanch in boiling water for 1 min., shock in icewater bath (If you prefer, you may roast the vegetables in the oven like you did with the tomatoes)
In a large sauce pan saute onion and garlic in olive oil until translucent
Add drained veggies and saute until just starting to brown
Add 1/2 and 1/2 to onion/garlic mixture and slowly heat
Add hot pepper sauce and flavoring paste
Mix water and cornstarch and add to 1/2 and 1/2. Bring to boil, stirring constantly until thickened.
Add spinach to wilt and all of the sauteed veggies.
Stir in peas, tomatoes and basil
Serve over whole wheat pasta and top with grated parmesan
Note: For your meat eaters, serve with grilled boneless, skinless chicken breast.
