Ingredients

  • 8 ounces (225g) pasta (such as penne or spaghetti)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 small onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 medium zucchini, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 2 cups vegetable broth
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Grated Parmesan cheese, for serving
  • Fresh basil leaves, chopped, for garnish

Instructions 

  • In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sliced onion, and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant.
  • Add sliced bell pepper and zucchini to the pot, and cook for another 2-3 minutes until slightly tender.
  • Stir in halved cherry tomatoes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until they begin to soften.
  • Add the uncooked pasta to the pot, along with the vegetable broth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, uncovered, for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is cooked to al dente and most of the liquid has been absorbed.
  • Once the pasta is cooked, remove the pot from the heat. If the pasta appears too dry, you can add a splash of additional broth or water.
  • Serve the One-Pot Pasta Primavera hot, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh basil leaves.
