Pasta & Vegetables



This has become a staple at our house. It varies every time based on what we have on hand. There's no wrong combination or quantity. I don't use a sauce typically, but a pesto or my simple tasty red sauce can be nice.

Ingredients
Frozen fresh pasta, usually ravioli*
Cooked fresh vegetables (portobellas, spinach, zucchini, red peppers, asparagus, etc)
Fresh elements (mozzarella balls, basil, good parmesan, garlic, tomatoes, chives)

Non-standard supplies
None

Instructions
Cook vegetables, but don't overcook anything
(I roast the red peppers, blanch asparagus, saute portobellos, and saute zucchini)
Cook frozen pasta just before ready to serve - it only takes 3-4 mins.
Add fresh elements.


* Some of the best ravioli I've ever had is sold at Sam's Club. Grilled Chicken and Four Cheese is our favorite. But our local store carries frozen ravioli, too. Pick what you like -- it doesn't even have to be fresh pasta or stuffed. I've made this with penne and rotini before, too. Really, it's just about what you have on hand.
