Tri-Color Pasta with Tri-Color Veggies

This is a great summer lunch or a good addition to a BBQ. 

The veggies are crisp-tender, tossed with basil (fresh would be awesome) and Parmesan cheese. 

Just add the pasta and you have lunch!

Tri-Color Pasta with Tri-Color Veggies

Ingredients

  • Red, Orange & Yellow bell peppers, julienned
  • 4 oz. baby bella mushrooms
  • 1 tsp. basil (dried)
  • 1/4 C Parmesan cheese
  • 6 oz. Tri-Color Pasta (we used rotini)
  • splash of lemon juice
  • salt & pepper, to taste

Directions

Begin by bringing a pot of water to a boil for your pasta.  When ready, add your pasta and cook according to package directions.  Drain. 

Meanwhile, saute the julienned bell peppers and sliced bella mushrooms in a large skillet in 1 tsp. olive oil. 

When veggies are crisp-tender and the pasta is done, stir the veggies and pasta together.  At this point, remove the skillet from the heat.   

Stir in the basil and Parmesan cheese.

Season with a splash of lemon juice, salt & pepper. 

Serve warm or chilled.  

Feel free to toss in some diced chicken, or white beans for added protein!
