Menu Plan Recipe: Mixed Veggie Pasta

Sorry guys! I have had company over this weekend and wasn't able to post a couple of recipes from this menu plan. On the other hand, we accomplished so much around the house! :)


We love to have this on the menu at least once every month. It is just so darn yummy. When the garden really starts to grow I can just pluck out the veggies I need and it will be such a frugal dinner!

On to the recipe now lovelies. 

This recipe is on meal plan week 1 for Sunday, June 2. Click HERE to check it out. 

Ingredients
2 medium green peppers, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 medium zucchini, cut into 1-inch pieces
4 oz whole mushrooms, sliced
1/3 cup chopped fresh basil (we just pluck it from the garden) or 2 tbsp dried
3 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp red wine vinegar
2 tsp Italian seasoning
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
2 cups of uncooked spiral pasta
1 bag of shredded cheese (2 cups)

Directions
Heat oven to 450 degrees. 
Place peppers, zucchini, and mushrooms in a medium size casserole dish. Sprinkle evenly with basil.
In a small bowl, mix oil, vinegar, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper; drizzle evenly over veggies. 
Bake for 25-30 minutes uncovered. 
Meanwhile, cook and drain pasta. 
Reduce temp. to 350 degrees. 
Add pasta to veggie mixture; toss to coat. 
Sprinkle with cheese. Bake about 15 minutes longer or until the veggies are tender and the cheese is melted.
