Ingredients

    Half box of Barilla Whole Grain Penne
    1 medium zucchini, chopped
    1 small carrot, peeled and sliced
    2 cups steamed broccoli (I use Bird'sEye SteamFresh and just put in half the bag)
    2.5 tbsp EVOO
    1/3 cup shredded paremsan
    Garlic powder
    Dried Basil
    Dried Oregano
    (Or Italian Seasoning)

Directions

Put pasta water on to boil. Prep veggies. Saute zucchini and carrots, steam broccoli. (I also sauteed 2 small cloves of garlic to infuse the veggies with extra flavor) Cook veggies to desired firmness. Boil pasta according to directions on box. After pasta has drained, toss with veggies. Drizzle with olive oil. Add parmesan and seasonings to taste, toss and serve warm.

** When Sauteeing, I use cooking spray and a non-stick skillet. If you prefer to use oil or butter, please adjust the nutrition information. **

Makes about 4 servings.
