Ingredients

  • 2 cups whole grain penne pasta
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ cup chopped onion
  • 1 pound fresh asparagus, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
  • 2 cups sliced fresh mushrooms
  • 1 small yellow summer squash, halved lengthwise and sliced
  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
  • ½ cup shredded carrot
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • Lemon wedges

Directions

Step 1
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add penne and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes.

Step 2
Meanwhile, heat oil in an extra-large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion; cook until softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add asparagus, mushrooms, and squash; cook until just tender, about 5 minutes. Add tomatoes, carrot, garlic, oregano, black pepper, salt, and red pepper flakes; cook until tomatoes begin to soften, about 1 minute.

Step 3
Drain penne; stir into vegetable mixture along with 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese. Top servings with remaining cheese and serve with lemon wedges.
