One Pot Penne With Zucchini And Parmesan Recipes

Steps:

• Shred zucchini on the large holes of a box grater. (You should have about 4 cups.) Toss with 1/2 teaspoon salt in a colander set over a bowl. Let stand 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, cook pasta in a pot of generously salted boiling water until al dente. Drain pasta directly over zucchini in colander set in sink. Transfer both to pot; toss with olive oil, Parmesan, garlic, and red-pepper flakes. Season with coarse salt and freshly ground pepper. Serve, dressed with more oil and cheese.

Steps:

• In a large pot cook penne pasta in boiling salted water until al dente. Drain the pasta, leaving it slightly wet.
• While pasta is cooking, wash the bell peppers and cut them into 1/4 inch strips. In a large skillet over medium heat place 2 tablespoons of olive oil and saute the pepper until soft. Do not allow peppers to brown.
• To the skillet, add the sliced zucchini and yellow squash and saute for 2 minutes. Add chopped mushrooms and minced garlic and saute an additional 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the chopped tomatoes and remove from heat.
• Dish pasta portions onto warmed plated. Add sauce to top. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.

Steps:

• Melt the butter in 5-quart saucepan over medium heat, add the chicken, and cook until it is no longer pink.
• Add the broth and heat to boiling, then add the pasta, vegetables and pepper. Stir to cover the pasta. Allow to boil, then reduce the heat.
• Cover the pan and simmer for 13 minutes (or until the pasta is tender), stirring every other minute.
• While the pasta is cooking, mix together the cream of chicken soup, the milk, and 1/2 cup of the cheese in a medium bowl.
• When the pasta is cooked, stir the soup mixture into the pot. Heat just to a boil, then sprinkle with the remaining parmesan and serve.
