One-Pot Zesty Pasta Primavera
This post is part of a social shopper marketing insight campaign with Pollinate Media Group® and Barilla®, but all my opinions are my own. #pmedia #OnePotPasta http://my-disclosur.es/OBsstV
It’s happened to all of us. You’ve come home after a long day, only to realize that you either forgot to take something out for dinner, or the dinner you had originally planned to make will take too long to prepare. We’ve all been there, right. Quick,easy and affordable one-pot meals are the perfect solution to this dilemma.
My local ShopRite Supermarket now carries the new Barilla® Pronto™ Penne pasta. Have you heard of it? I tried it recently and loved how easy it was to create a delicious meal in under 30 minutes. This delicious One-Pot Zesty Pasta Primavera made with the new Barilla® Pronto™ Penne pasta was made using only one pot – YES, you read that correctly!
Life gets pretty hectic here on the farm. My husband works long hours, so I like to find quick, budget-friendly and hearty meals to prepare for the family. I also love the fact that with Barilla® Pronto™, there is only one pot to wash. Less pots to wash equates to more family time together and less time in the kitchen washing dishes. Who likes to wash dishes anyway!
I love to make a pasta primavera for my family. It’s a way that I can get them to eat their vegetables. Pasta primavera is so versatile too. You can really make it with any combination of vegetables that you like; making it a great dish for seasonal produce. I also choose to add a little kick to this version (that’s where the zesty comes from in the title) by adding red pepper flakes.
Here’s how I whipped up this One-Pot Zesty Pasta Primavera.
I began by chopping my vegetables and sautéing them in a large skillet for about 3 minutes. Once the vegetables are finished, remove them from the skillet and place in a bowl.
Now this is the cool part. In the same skillet, add the entire box of Barilla® Pronto™ along with 3 cups of water. Bring the pasta to a boil and cook for ten minutes until the liquid is absorbed. That’s right, no big pot of boiling water. The pasta is prepared in the same pot as the vegetables. Sweet!
Now, add the vegetables back to the pot with the pasta as soon as all the water is absorbed. Pour in the chicken broth and light cream and bring to a simmer. The liquid will thicken after a few minutes. Stir in the parmesan cheese and chopped basil at the end.
Pasta makes me happy and this One-Pot Zesty Pasta Primavera made my whole family happy. It had the right amount of vegetables, the right amount of sauce and the right amount of spicy zest! But the best part of this whole recipe – it was made in only one pot! Hooray for Barilla® Pronto™. Thank you for making dinner easy and quick!
