Pasta Primavera

Pasta Primavera is a classic Italian dish that features pasta and fresh vegetables. It's a light and colorful dish that's perfect for spring and summer. The name "Primavera" means "spring" in Italian, and it's often made with vegetables that are in season during that time.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups of penne pasta
• 2 tablespoons of olive oil
• 1/2 cup of chopped red bell pepper
• 1/2 cup of chopped green bell pepper
• 1/2 cup of chopped yellow bell pepper
• 1 cup of broccoli florets
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1/2 cup of sliced mushrooms
• 1/2 cup of chopped zucchini
• 1/2 cup of chopped tomato
• 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Cook the pasta according to package instructions until it's al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. In a large pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the bell peppers, broccoli, garlic, mushrooms, and zucchini. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
3. Add the cooked pasta to the pan with the vegetables. Stir everything together so that the pasta is well coated with the olive oil and mixed with the vegetables.
4. Add the chopped tomato and Parmesan cheese to the pan. Stir again to combine.
