Ingredients
- 1/2 lb shaped pasta I used Gemelli, but fusilli or bowties would be great, too.
- 1 cup basil pesto
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 cup green beans cut into 2 inch pieces
- 1 cup slender asparagus cut into 2 inch pieces
- 1 cup small broccoli florets
- 1 small zucchini halved and sliced into half moons
- 1 cup pea pods sliced on the diagonal
- 4 scallions sliced, both white and green parts
- 1 cup halved cherry tomatoes
- 1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese Romano or Asiago will also work.
Instructions
- Cook the pasta to al dente in a pot of heavily salted boiling water.
- Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a large skillet or braising pan and sauté the beans, asparagus, broccoli and zucchini over medium high heat, stirring almost constantly.*I sometimes add a splash of the pasta water to the pan and cover for a minute. The steam helps cook the firmer veggies quickly,
- Add the pea pods and scallions to the pan and continue to cook for a minute or two more.
- When everything is crisp-tender and bright green, toss in the tomatoes and cheese.
- Remove from the heat and add the hot pasta to the pan along with the pesto and give everything a good toss. Add a bit of pasta water if it seems at all dry. I didn't add any salt, but taste for yourself and add if you need it.
- Serve asap with fresh cracked pepper.
