Zesty Pasta Primavera Recipes

Steps:

• In a pot over high heat, combine broth, linguine, broccoli, asparagus, onion, garlic, red pepper flakes, salt, pepper, and olive oil. Stir.
• Add the mushrooms and bring to a boil.
• Once at a boil, reduce heat to medium and cook the pasta for 10 minutes, continuously tossing with tongs.
• Add the heavy cream, parmesan, and parsley, and toss for an additional 3 minutes.
• If the liquid hasn't been completely absorbed, let the pasta sit off the heat for an additional few minutes.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• On a large heavy baking sheet, toss all of the vegetables with the oil, salt, pepper, and dried herbs to coat. Transfer half of the vegetable mixture to another heavy large baking sheet and arrange evenly over the baking sheets. Bake until the carrots are tender and the vegetables begin to brown, stirring after the first 10 minutes, about 20 minutes total.
• Meanwhile, cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente, tender but still firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain, reserving 1 cup of the cooking liquid.
• Toss the pasta with the vegetable mixtures in a large bowl to combine. Toss with the cherry tomatoes and enough reserved cooking liquid to moisten. Season the pasta with salt and pepper, to taste. Sprinkle with the Parmesan and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Cook pasta as directed on package.
• Meanwhile, cook and stir onion in hot oil on medium-high heat for 5 minutes or until onion is tender. Add dressing mix and water; stir until well blended. Add vegetables and beans; mix lightly. Bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low; cover. Simmer 10 minutes.
• Toss vegetable mixture with pasta; sprinkle with cheese.

Steps:

• Use a mandoline, julienne peeler, or sharp knife (or a special machine called a spiral slicer) to make the strands from zucchini.
• Saute tomatoes, capers, garlic, and a pinch of red-pepper flakes in olive oil for 1 minute over medium-high; add "noodles.". Cook, tossing, 1 to 2 minutes. Sprinkle with pine nuts, Parmesan, and basil.

Steps:

• Prepare the vegetables as specified.
• Toss the prepared vegetables with 4 tablespoons mustard.
• Broil until tender then set aside.
• Whisk remaining mustard, oil and basil together in a large bowl.
