Ingredients

12 oz whole-grain pasta
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 zucchini, sliced
1 yellow squash, sliced
1 red bell pepper, sliced
2 cups broccoli florets
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
3 cloves garlic, minced
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
¼ cup fresh basil, chopped (or 4 tsp dried)
½ tsp sea salt

Directions

Tap a step to mark it done.

Cook the pasta per package directions; reserve ½ cup of the cooking water, then drain.
Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high; sauté the zucchini, squash, bell pepper, and broccoli until crisp-tender, about 6 minutes.
Add the garlic and cherry tomatoes; cook 1–2 minutes more.
Toss the pasta with the vegetables, Parmesan, basil, salt, and pepper, adding a splash of the reserved cooking water to loosen. Serve warm.

Note. Add cooked chicken or white beans for extra protein.

Ingredient tip. When a recipe uses a packaged or processed food, choose a version with five or fewer ingredients on the label.
