Vegetable Pasta Primavera (+ shrimp or chicken optional)

•  Olive Oil
• Onion 1/2 chopped
• Garlic (a lot)

(saute)

• Can Diced or Petit Diced Tomatoes (14.5 oz) or bigger can if making more.
• White wine 1/4-1/2 cup (any kind we like)

Let that cook together approximately 15 minutes.

Add whatever vegetables you want, but these go together well:

• Asparagus (microwave for a minute first)
• Broccoli (microwave for a minute first)
• Zucchini 
• Yellow Squash
• Red or yellow pepper
• Spinach (add at the end)

• Pesto: 2 (or more!) Tablespoons.

Let that all cook together. 

• Add shrimp or chicken **Optional
• Penne pasta: Cook 3 handfuls per person. More vegetables than pasta.

Put into the sauce. 

Let it stand for a couple of hours before you eat it. 

Better the next day, so make enough for leftovers! 

Serve w/ Pita bread wedges broiled or baked with olive oil, garlic salt, parmesan cheese. 

Or garlic bread.
