Easy Balsamic Veggie Pasta


This easy Balsamic Veggie Pasta recipe is overflowing with fresh veggies, and sautéed in a delicious balsamic sauce.

Ingredients:


  • 12 ounces uncooked pasta (I used penne)
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 1 small red onion, peeled and thinly-sliced
  • 1 pound asparagus, cut into bite-sized pieces (with ends trimmed off and discarded)
  • 1 small head of broccoli florets, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 red bell pepper, cored and thinly-sliced
  • Kosher salt and freshly-cracked black pepper
  • 5 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
  • 3-4 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • freshly-grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions:


  1. Cook pasta in a large stock pot of generously-salted boiling water al dente according to package instructions. Then drain the pasta, and set it aside.
  2. Meanwhile, as the pasta water is heating and the pasta is cooking, heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the red onion and sauté, stirring occasionally, for 4 minutes. Add the asparagus, broccoli, and red bell pepper, and season the mixture with a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Continue sautéing for 4-5 more minutes, stirring occasionally. (Adding in another tablespoon of oil if needed.) Stir in the garlic and continue sautéing for 1-2 more minutes, stirring occasionally, until the garlic is fragrant. Remove from heat.
