Anchored by pasta, zucchini and asparagus, this vegetarian dish starts by cooking the pasta in salted boiling water until al dente and comes together in about 55 minutes -- the kind of medium recipe that earns a permanent spot in the rotation.

Worth the 55 minutes -- this is a weekend project that pays off.

A few technique steps to focus on, but nothing that needs special equipment.

Built around pasta, so the flavor comes from real ingredients, not a spice packet.

Ingredients

  • 12 oz (340 g) pasta (penne or fusilli)
