Wholegrain pasta and vegetable fry-up

Easy to cook, healthy and vegetarian-friendly fry-up you will want to eat again and again.

INGREDIENTS

  • 250 g wholegrain pasta (I prefer penne)
  • 150 g of summer squash (or zucchini)
  • 1 small broccoli
  • 1 small cauliflower
  • 6 cherry tomatoes
  • 1 garlic clove
  • freshly grated Parmesan cheese (take the desired amount but remember that mature cheeses have a distinct taste and must be regarded rather as seasoning)
  • 1 teaspoon of oregano
  • salt

Optional ingredients that enhance flavour:

  • pepper
  • parsley

PREPARATION

Pour water in a large pot, bring to the boil and add wholegrain pasta. Simmer for the number of minutes specified on the label. When the pasta is ready, discard the liquid.

Heat the oven up to 180 oC

Cut broccoli and cauliflower in florets (to your liking). In a separate pot boil the water and add a pinch of salt. Boil cauliflower and broccoli florets (to lessen hardness, ~5 min) and discard water.

Cut summer squash in cubes Cut cherry tomatoes in halves. Mix vegetables with pasta and place in an oven-baking dish, sprinkle with olive oil, add garlic (crushed or sliced), oregano, salt and other spices to your liking. Mix a bit and sprinkle with grated cheese.

Put in the oven and bake ~15 min. When the fry-up is ready, you can sprinkle it with fresh parsley leaves to garnish.

This amount is intended for 4 persons, however it depends on your appetite.
