Pasta with veggies is a go to dinner around here. Unfortunately my husband does not tolerate tomatoes very well so I rarely get to make (my favorite) spaghetti sauce. We eat a lot of pesto. I have been playing around with my own variations of pesto for a while and am in love with this recipe for Kale Pesto. I've made this enough times to where I don't even follow "the recipe" anymore, I just throw all of the basic ingredients together and add enough olive oil until I have the consistency I desire. I also add a bit more parmesan cheese and some basil, oregano and red pepper. Once the sauce was made I started on everything else...
I toasted some pine nuts in the pan I later used to sauté the veggies. These just take a couple of minutes in high heat. Watch them closely bc they'll burn fast.
Golden but not too dark...
The sauce and pasta sit in wait...
Sautéed zucchini, mushrooms and asparagus.
Whole wheat linguini cooked per package directions.
Mix it all together...
Topped w/ parmesan cheese and homemade garlic bread on the side. Easy, inexpensive and healthy!
