Time 45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (8 ounce) package pappardelle pasta
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 zucchini, halved and sliced
1 bunch thin asparagus, cut into 1 1/2-inch lengths
1 crown broccoli, cut into florets
8 ounces fresh green beans, cut into 1-inch lengths
2 green onions, thinly sliced
1 (15 ounce) can garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed
2 tablespoons reserved pasta water
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
salt and pepper to taste
ΒΌ cup crumbled feta cheese

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to boil. Add pappardelle, and cook until al dente, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain, reserving some pasta water. Coat with 1 tablespoon olive oil; set aside.
  • Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium high heat. Add zucchini; cook and stir until zucchini begins to brown around the edges but is still firm. Stir in asparagus, broccoli, and green beans; continue to cook until vegetables turn bright green in color, about 3 minutes. Add green onions and garbanzo beans; cook and stir until vegetables are lightly browned around the edges.
  • Add reserved pasta water to vegetables. Cover skillet; reduce heat to low and simmer until garbanzos are heated through and vegetables are just tender. Stir vegetables and basil into pasta; season to taste with salt and pepper, and top with crumbled feta.

Overall, I thought this pasta was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

This pasta was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less salt next time.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my pasta turned out too watery. I think I might have added too much water to the sauce.

This pasta is a bit bland for my taste. I think it could use some more seasoning.

I'm not a huge fan of green pasta, but this recipe was surprisingly good. The sauce was creamy and flavorful, and the pasta was cooked perfectly.

This pasta is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids loved the green sauce and they didn't even realize they were eating spinach!

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover greens. I had a bunch of kale and spinach that I needed to use up, and this pasta was the perfect solution.
