Caesar Pasta Primavera

Ingredients:

Serving Size: 1/6 recipe, Total Servings: 6

  • 1 (12-ounce) package regular or multi-grain bow-tie pasta
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/4 pound asparagus, cut into 1-1/2-inch pieces
  • 1/4 pound snow peas, trimmed
  • 2 medium carrots, thinly sliced
  • 1 medium-sized yellow or red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch chunks
  • 3 medium plum tomatoes, cut into thin wedges
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 (14-1/2-ounce) can ready-to-serve reduced-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 (1.2-ounce) package dry Caesar dressing mix
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (optional) 

Cooking Instructions:

  1. Cook pasta according to package directions, omitting the salt; drain. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and sauté asparagus, snow peas, carrots, and bell pepper 2 minutes. Stir in tomatoes and garlic.
  2. In a small bowl, combine broth and dressing mix; pour over vegetables and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer 5 to 7 minutes, or until vegetables are crisp-tender, stirring occasionally.
