Vegetarian Pasta Primavera




My mom used to make something like this but she added chicken. Since I try not to eat meat, I make a vegetarian option.


You Will Need:
3 Tablespoons olive oil
4 cloves of garlic, minced and smashed
1/2 - 1 white onion - diced
1 diced zucchini
1 cup (ish) chopped asparagus
2 cups of broccoli
1 cup cherry tomatoes cut in half
1/4 cup of lemon juice - about 1 large lemon
1 Tablespoon of italian seasoning.
salt and peper to taste I start with about 1 tablespoon of each.
Whole Wheat Linguine - you can use fresh or dry or grain free or whatever you have.

1. Cook pasta and set aside.
2. In pan or large skillet eat olive oil on medium heat.
3. Add onions and garlic cook until soft.
3. Next add zucchini, asparagus, broccoli, salt and pepper. Cook until soft or desired texture. I like mine a little crunchy still.



















4. Add tomatoes and lemon juice. Bring to a boil.




















5. Let simmer until veggies are your desired texture.
6. Add linguine and mix until fully combined.























7. Serve with parmesan ramano cheese

Serve!
