Easy Healthy Pasta and Veggies a quick and easy lunch or tasty side! This fresh and colorful vegetable pasta features a flavorful store-bought pesto that coats every bite.

Easy Healthy Pasta and Veggies
The beauty of this recipe is how quick and simple it is to make. The pasta and vegetables cook together, then you stir in store-bought pesto to kick up the flavor. You can serve hot or cold or as a main or side dish. If your crew if like mine and want a protein, either serve it with grilled chicken or for a faster alternative, frozen grilled chicken.

Easy Healthy Pasta and Veggies

  1. First, you can use regular or gluten-free pasta. I like organic pasta and there is a lot of variety in kinds of pasta now to choose from.
  2. You can use fresh or frozen vegetables. It’s a good, go-to recipe for busy times that I like to keep frozen vegetables on hand to make.
  3. I used frozen corn and peas, but fresh broccoli. The great thing about this recipe is that you can change the vegetables to your favorites or whatever you have on hand. I particularly like to use edamame in this recipe.
  4. As well, if you have leftover roasted vegetables, they are fantastic mixed with pasta and pesto.
  5. Finally, I used a store-bought pesto, but you can use homemade.

    That looks so yummy! I have a friend who's family recently had to go gluten free, I can't wait to share this recipe with her! We'd love to have you link this up at our party

    I've used gluten-free pasta for years and love it, especially when I found Tinkyada, which is the only pasta I will ever use now. I don't think that gluten-free has to do with dieting, just with getting rid of gluten (which some people cannot tolerate) or getting rid of grains, which are way overused in the American diet. Even dogs do better on a grain-free diet.

    Sounds good. I have tired it before when it was on special and haven't thought to try it again. Now I am watching my calories, I may have to revisit it 🙂
