Veggie Pasta

Ever have those days when it's 5:30 and you still don't know what to cook? Recently, I discovered something super easy and very healthy that fits the bill! It's literally a last minute throw together meal!

Any veggies in your fridge
pasta
olive oil
parmesan cheese

1. Look in your fridge and pull out all the veggies that need to be eaten before they go bad. Cut them up and sautee them with a little bit of olive oil just until they are soft. (I like my carrots soft, so my squash is usually super soft, but that's okay)
2. While sauteeing the veggies, boil pasta. Drain and mix with about 1-2 tsp. oil so they don't stick together.
3. Mix veggies and noodles. Sprinkle grated parmesan cheese over the top. In about 15 minutes, you have a super healthy meal for the family, and you've used up your vegetables!

Note: I love to add tomatoes to my veggie pasta, but don't sautee them. I just mix them in at the end.
