Penne Pasta with Sauteed Vegetables


Okay, this is a pretty simple recipe and only takes about 15 minutes. Bring some water mixed with a generous amount of salt to a boil. Also, put some olive oil in a pan over medium. While you are waiting for the water to boil and the oil to heat up, do the following:



-Cut several grape tomatoes in half
-Chop up a few green onions (or slice a few asparagus spears diagonally, once they become tough stop cutting)
-Mince a couple garlic cloves
-Chop up a good amount of parsley leaves


When the water is at a boil add enough Penne Pasta to feed yourself. Of course, adjust this amount and amount of vegetables depending on your appetite. Once you add the pasta, throw the tomatoes in the olive oil. Stir and season generously with salt and pepper. After a couple minutes throw in your green onions (or asparagus) and again season if you desire. About 6-7 minutes in add the garlic. Cook for a few more minutes or until tomatoes begin to soften. Drain the pasta and mix in the vegetables (including olive oil) along with the parsley. Add cheese if desired. Or, to make a creamier sauce add a little butter in the saute pan just before finishing.


Smiles!
