15-Minute Penne Primavera

This is my kind of weeknight dinner—quick, easy, loaded with veggies, and on the table in about 15 minutes!

INGREDIENTS
• 1 lb penne pasta @barillaus
• 1 onion, chopped
• Olive oil
• Salt, to taste
• 4 cloves garlic, chopped
• 1–2 bags frozen California Medley
• ½ cup frozen peas
• 1 jar tomato basil sauce @raoshomemade
• ½ jar water
• ½ stick butter
• 2 handfuls grated Parmigiano Reggiano
• Splash of heavy cream or milk, optional

DIRECTIONS

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the penne according to package directions.
2. While the pasta cooks, add a generous drizzle of olive oil to a large pot. Add the chopped onion, season with salt, and sauté until softened.
3. Add the chopped garlic and let everything cook together for about 2 minutes.
4. Add 1–2 bags of frozen California Medley and ½ cup frozen peas. Cook for 3–4 minutes.
5. Pour in the entire jar of tomato basil sauce. Fill the empty sauce jar halfway with water, give it a shake, and pour that into the pot too.
6. Bring the sauce to a boil and let it bubble for a few minutes.
7. Add ½ stick of butter and stir until completely melted. Add 2 handfuls of Parmigiano Reggiano and stir everything together. Add a splash of cream or milk if you want it a little creamier.
8. Taste! Add more salt if needed, then toss in your cooked penne until everything is coated.

SAVE this one for your next busy weeknight! ❤️
