Pasta With Mixed Vegetables Recipe

Prepare the Vegetables

Begin by washing all the vegetables (carrots, green beans, yellow bell pepper, and cauliflower) thoroughly. Chop them into bite-sized pieces to ensure they cook evenly.

Cook the Pasta

In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving some pasta water for later use.

Boil the Egg

Place an egg in a saucepan, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Once boiling, lower the heat and simmer for about 9-10 minutes. Remove from heat, cool in cold water, and then peel. Set aside.

Sauté the Vegetables

While the pasta and egg are cooking, heat a little olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the chopped vegetables and sauté until they are tender but still crisp, about 5-7 minutes.

Combine and Serve

Combine the cooked pasta with the sautéed vegetables, adding a splash of the reserved pasta water if needed to moisten. Slice the boiled egg and arrange on top of the pasta. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve warm for a nourishing and fulfilling meal.
