Pasta Primavera

LSO has a courage with his cooking that I lack. He often adds, sometimes by mistake, seemingly random ingredients to recipes. One night he decided to try adding bacon bits to our primavera. The result was FANTASTIC. I now stock bacon bits in our pantry for this dish alone.

Recipe Summary
Time: 30 mins
Servings: About 4
Source: LSO
Ingredients
penne pasta,cooked
olice oil, 2 Tbs
bell pepper,coarsely chopped
red onion,coarsely chopped
mushroom,coarsely chopped
squash,coarsely chopped
zuccini,coarsely chopped
bacon bits
alfredo sauce


Directions
  1. Cook penne pasta
  2. Chop veggies while water boils and pasta cooks
  3. Heat oil in pan
  4. Cook veggies over med heat until tender.
  5. Toss cooked pasta in pan with veggies
  6. Add enough alfredo sauce to coat pasta lightly
  7. Finish with a shake or three of bacon bits
  8. Serve
Notes
  1. The veggies are optional. I typically use whatever I have in my fridge.
  2. Use a light alfredo sauce to make this dish a bit more healthy
  3. I usually guesstamate on this recipe so it has not been standardized.
