Cooking Pasta

    Boil the Pasta

    Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add 2 cups of pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Sautéing Vegetables

  1. 2

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add 1 medium sliced red onion and sauté for about 2 minutes until soft.

  2. 3

    Add Remaining Vegetables

    Add 1 cup of chopped bell pepper, 1 cup of sliced zucchini, and 1 cup of halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet. Sauté for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

    Stir in 2 cups of fresh spinach and 2 minced garlic cloves. Cook until the spinach has wilted, about 2-3 minutes.

Combining Ingredients

    Combine Pasta and Vegetables

    Add the drained pasta to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Season with 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning. Toss to combine all ingredients well.
