Pasta Primavera

So this is my version of pasta primavera. I do add meat to it and do a balsamic sauce and it is pretty tasty. I love it because it can become any version you like based on what you have in the fridge. I normally have the basic main ingredients and then the veggies vary depending on what I have and what time of year it is.

Pasta Primavera
1 lb pasta of your choice (I like rotini or penne)

2 Tbs butter or olive oil

1 small zucchini

1/2 bell pepper, sliced

4 mushrooms, sliced

1/2 lb spinach cleaned and torn to pieces

1/2 pound turkey kielbasa, sliced

1/4 c balsamic vinegar

1/2 tsp salt or to taste

generous grind of black pepper

1/2 tsp Herb De Provence

In a large pot get the water boiling and start cooking the pasta. In a large skillet cook the zucchini, bell pepper, and mushroom until tender. Toss in the kielbasa and cook until golden brown. Throw in the spinach and cook just a few minutes until it is wilted. Now you add in the seasonings and the balsamic vinegar and let it coat all of the veggies and meat. You can at this point add a little pasts water or tap water to thin it out a bit so there is some juice to the sauce. Then toss in your pasta to coat. Serve with a salad and some bread and enjoy! This is a really quick meal and it is very tasty. You can also change it depending on the meat and the veg you have and it turns out nice. I have put little cubes of cheese in it at the end so they get a little gooey and that is great as well.
