Pasta Primavera

"Pasta Primavera" is an Italian-American dish that consists of pasta and fresh vegetables. A meat such as chicken, sausage or shrimp may be added, but the focus of primavera is the vegetables themselves.

Ingredients:

• Any pasta will do (preferably penne or farfalle)
• 4 teaspoons of olive oil
• 7-8 fresh asparagus
• 3-4 sliced mushrooms (regular)
• 1/2 red bell pepper, sliced
• 3 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
• Handful of fresh parsley
• 1 shallots or onions
• Salt and Black pepper to taste

Directions

1. Pre-heat in a pan the olive oil over high heat, put the shallot / onion and the garlic for 2 minutes, then add the red pepper.
2. While doing the sauce, boil water with some salt and put in the pasta. Cook it until it's "al dente" then drain the water out and leave the pasta in the pot.
3. In the pan add the mushrooms and asparagus and saute for 3-4 minutes. Add salt, pepper and the parsley, stir it well and finally the pasta. On plate sprinkle some fresh parsley

Buen provecho!!
