How to Make Pasta Olivo

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Spray with cooking spray and sauté 1 cup chopped broccoli florets, 1 cup chopped zucchini, 1/2 cup chopped yellow bell pepper, and 2 cloves minced garlic for 5 minutes, or until vegetables are tender-crisp.
  2. Add 1 (14.5 ounce) can of diced tomatoes (undrained) and sauté for 2 more minutes.
  3. While the vegetables sauté, combine 1/2 cup packed fresh parsley leaves, 1/4 cup packed fresh basil leaves, and 1/2 cup vegetable broth in a blender. Blend until smooth.
  4. Cook 1 pound pasta according to package directions. Drain, reserving about 1/2 cup pasta water.
  5. Add the herb-broth mixture to the cooked pasta along with the sautéed vegetables. Toss to combine, adding a little reserved pasta water if needed to achieve desired consistency.
  6. Serve immediately, garnished with 1/2 cup pitted black olives.
