Pasta Primavera with Grilled Chicken

Sunday, March 24, 2013 by Lolli 1 Comment

This is a long-time favorite pasta dish that I don’t cook often enough….but I’m going to try to fix that. I made it the other night and was reminded of how much I love this simple meal. I also love that it’s chock full of veggies.

I found this recipe years ago in the Betty Crocker cook book that I got shortly after I got married (we’re going on 18 years now)…so I’ve been making this for quite a while. The greatest thing about this pasta is that it’s easy to change it up (what I really mean by that is I get to throw in whatever vegetables I have on hand). Wait. No, the best thing about this recipe is that the kids love it and don’t complain about eating their vegetables.

The original recipe has no meat, and I love the vegetarian version almost as much as the version below, with a little bit of grilled chicken.
