20 Minute Parmesan Pasta With Vegetables Food

VEGETABLE PASTA - ONE POT!

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large pot over medium. Add garlic and onion - cook slowly for 3 to 4 minutes until onion is translucent and sweet.
• Turn heat up to medium high, add zucchini and capsicum. Cook 1 1/2 minutes.
• Add remaining ingredients EXCEPT pasta and broccoli. Stir until tomato paste dissolves.
• When liquid starts bubbling, lower heat to medium, add pasta and stir. Top with broccoli, push in.
• Place lid on and cook for 5 minutes.
• Remove lid. Cook for another 3 to 4 minutes, stirring frequently, until pasta is almost cooked through and most of the liquid has been absorbed by the pasta.
• Stir through half the cheese (if using). Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
• Top with remaining cheese, put lid on. Leave for 1 minute until cheese is melted and pasta is perfectly cooked.
• Garnish with parsley and serve immediately. Don't leave leftovers in the pot, residual heat will overcook the pasta so transfer into a serving dish.

20 MINUTE PARMESAN PASTA WITH BROCCOLI

Steps:

• Cut the broccoli into small florets. Put them in a colander, pour over boiling water and then pour over cold water. Set aside.
• In a large deep sided skillet set over medium to high heat, add the olive oil, garlic and all the dried seasonings and herbs. Stir well and let cook for about a minute. Add the flour and stir really well.
• Add the vegetable stock and cooking cream to the pan. Whisk really well to prevent any lumps. Bring to a simmer and let thicken for 1- 2 minutes.
• Add the uncooked pasta and broccoli and stir really well to completely coat. Cover and leave to cook for about 12-15 minutes. Stir a few times through cooking to prevent the pasta from sticking together.
• Reduce heat to low and add the Parmesan cheese, butter and fresh parsley. Stir well and serve.

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• On a large heavy baking sheet, toss all of the vegetables with the oil, salt, pepper, and dried herbs to coat. Transfer half of the vegetable mixture to another heavy large baking sheet and arrange evenly over the baking sheets. Bake until the carrots are tender and the vegetables begin to brown, stirring after the first 10 minutes, about 20 minutes total.
• Meanwhile, cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente, tender but still firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain, reserving 1 cup of the cooking liquid.
• Toss the pasta with the vegetable mixtures in a large bowl to combine. Toss with the cherry tomatoes and enough reserved cooking liquid to moisten. Season the pasta with salt and pepper, to taste. Sprinkle with the Parmesan and serve immediately.
