Method

Cooking the Pasta

  1. 1

    Boil Water

    In a large pot, bring 4-5 cups of water to a boil. Add a pinch of salt.

  2. 2

    Cook Pasta

    Add the whole wheat pasta to the boiling water and cook according to package instructions (typically 8-10 minutes) until al dente.

  3. 3

    Drain Pasta

    Once cooked, drain the pasta in a colander and set aside.

Preparing the Vegetables

  1. 4

    Chop Cherry Tomatoes

    Wash and slice the cherry tomatoes in half.

  2. 5

    Prepare Broccoli

    Wash the broccoli florets and steam them for about 3-4 minutes until tender but still vibrant green.

Combining Ingredients

    Mix Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the drained pasta, cherry tomatoes, and steamed broccoli.

  2. 7

    Add Seasoning

    Drizzle olive oil over the mixture, then sprinkle garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning. Toss everything together ensuring even distribution of seasonings.

  3. 8
