Ingredients
Pasta and Vegetables
Preparation
1. Cook the Pasta
In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. Sauté the Vegetables
In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the cherry tomatoes, zucchini, bell peppers, and carrots. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
3. Make the Pesto
In a food processor, combine the basil leaves, pine nuts, minced garlic, Parmesan cheese, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Pulse until finely chopped. With the processor running, slowly add the olive oil until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
4. Combine Everything
In the skillet with the sautéed vegetables, add the cooked pasta and pesto. Toss everything together until the pasta and vegetables are evenly coated with the pesto. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through.
5. Serve
Serve immediately, garnished with additional Parmesan cheese and fresh basil if desired.
