How to Make Angel Hair Pasta With Garden Vegetables
- Cook 8 ounces of angel hair pasta (plus variety preferred) according to package directions.
- While pasta cooks, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 cup chopped garden vegetables (e.g., zucchini, bell peppers, squash, etc.), 2 cloves minced garlic, and 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, until vegetables are tender-crisp.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup vegetable broth, 1 teaspoon cornstarch, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- Pour the broth mixture into the skillet with the vegetables. Bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat to low, simmer and stir for 3-5 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly.
- Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 cup chopped cherry or grape tomatoes.
- Drain the cooked pasta and add it to the skillet with the vegetable mixture. Toss gently to combine. Alternatively, serve the vegetable mixture over the pasta.
- Top with grated Parmesan cheese (to taste). Sprinkle individual servings with red pepper flakes, black pepper, or toasted pine nuts for extra flavor and texture (optional).
