CREAMLESS PENNE PASTA PRIMAVERA WITH OLIVE OIL AND GARLIC
Entered for safe-keeping. I am searching for a recipe closest to the creamless pasta primavera that used to lure me to a local restaurant (until the chef left). This version by Chef George Krumov seems very close. For non-vegetarians, make this a complete meal by adding (per person) 1 grilled chicken breast cut into 1-1/2-inch long strips or 1/4 pound cooked shelled shrimp (31-40 count/pound).

Steps:
- Bring 4 quarts of water with 2 tablespoons salt to a boil in a large pot and cook dry penne pasta to desired doneness per package directions. (Only 2.8 quarts -- 2.5 liters -- of water are required, but with the smaller amount of water, it would take longer for the water to return to a boil once the pasta is added.).
- Meanwhile, precook broccoli florets and carrots. If boiling in water, boil for 3-5 minutes and check for doneness with fork. Otherwise, vegetables can be steamed. Once cooked, transfer vegetables to ice water to halt cooking and preserve bright color, then drain. Set aside until step 4.
- In a large heavy skillet, heat the olive oil 1 minute or until hot and saute the onion and garlic until lightly golden, about 3 minutes.
- Add the vegetables and saute until the peppers are soft, about 2 minutes.
- Deglaze with the beef broth, if using, or just a splash (1 fluid ounce) of dry white wine.
- Add the drained penne noodles and basil and season to taste.
- Toss well and serve immediately with some freshly grated Parmesan or Grana di Padano cheese on the side.
Tips:
- Use fresh, seasonal vegetables. This will give your pasta primavera the best flavor and texture.
- Don't overcook the vegetables. You want them to be tender but still slightly crunchy.
- Use a good quality olive oil. This will make a big difference in the flavor of the dish.
- Add a little bit of acid to brighten up the flavors. Lemon juice or white wine vinegar are both good options.
- Season the dish to taste. Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all good starting points.
- Garnish with fresh herbs, such as basil or parsley. This will add a pop of color and flavor.
Conclusion:
Creamless penne pasta primavera with olive oil and garlic is a delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal. It is loaded with fresh vegetables and is a great way to get your daily dose of fruits and vegetables. This dish is also a good source of fiber and protein.
