Before you jump to Pasta Primavera recipe, you may want to read this short interesting healthy tips about The Basics of Being Healthy.

Everybody knows that in order to truly be healthy you need to eat a nutritious and balanced diet and get a proper level of exercise. The unfortunate thing is that, at the end of the day, we don’t always have the time or energy required for a healthy lifestyle. When our work day is done, most people do not want to go to the gym. We want a tasty, greasy burger, not an equally tasty salad (unless we’re vegetarians). You will be delighted to discover that achieving good health doesn’t have to be hard. If you are conscientious you’ll get all of the activity and appropriate food choices you need. Here are some basic ways to get healthful.

Drink water, not other beverages. Sipping a soda or cup of coffee from time to time won’t hurt you too badly. It is definitely, however, a bad idea to solely drink soda or coffee. Choosing water instead of other beverage adds to your body’s health and allows it stay hydrated. This also helps you lower your caloric intake by hundreds of points without requiring you to buy and eat terrible diet foods. Productive weight loss efforts often depend entirely on water ingestion.

There are lots of things you can go after to become healthy. An overpriced gym membership and very restrictive diets are not the only way to do it. It is the little things you choose on a daily basis that really help you with weight loss and getting healthy. Being smart when you choose your food and actions is where it begins. A good amount of physical activity each day is also critical. Don’t forget that health isn’t only about simply how much you weigh. It has more to do with making your body as powerful as it can be.

We hope you got benefit from reading it, now let’s go back to pasta primavera recipe. You can have pasta primavera using 11 ingredients and 6 steps. Here is how you achieve that.

The ingredients needed to prepare Pasta Primavera:
  1. Use 1 box mushrooms - 8 oz. size whole or sliced
  2. Prepare 1 medium squash - green
  3. Take 1 medium summer squash - yellow
  4. You need 7 sun dried tomatoes
  5. Provide 1 extra virgin light olive oil
  6. Get 1 butter
  7. Provide 1 herbs - dill and parsley
  8. Provide 1 lemon pepper
  9. Take 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  10. Use 1 grated parmigiano romano
  11. You need 1/3 box mini penne pasta
Steps to make Pasta Primavera:
  1. While preparing vegetables set a pot of water on high to boil for pasta.
  2. Wash, dry and slice mushrooms in half and then into 1/4" slices. Slice both squashes in half then in 1/4" slices. Slice sun dried tomatoes in 1/4" slices.
  3. In a large saute/fry pan (with lid) put about 2-3 tablespoons of oil and 2 pats of butter on medium heat. Once butter melts add mushrooms, herbs and lemon pepper. The mushrooms will absorb all the oil and butter - add more butter a pat at a time until mushrooms have a good coating of butter. Turn the heat down to medium/low, cover and cook about 3-5 minutes until mushrooms start to release their juice.
  4. Add a little more olive oil, a pat of butter and stir until the butter has melted. Then add squash and sun dried tomatoes. Season again with herbs, lemon pepper and add 2 tablespoons of fresh squeezed lemon. Stir to incorporate, cover and reduce heat a little. You want to cook the squash until it's tender but hasn't lost its color about 2-3 minutes. Then take it completely off the heat; especially if you have an electric stove. Keep it covered.
  5. While preparing the vegetables if the water has come to a full boil add the penne and cook as directed on the box. I use mini penne and it takes 6 minutes for al dente. Once cooked drain into colander. Turn the stove down to medium low, wipe dry the bottom of the pot and return it to stove add about 2 tablespoons of oil, a pat of butter and heat thoroughly. (If you like, add some red pepper flakes.) Add pasta, stir to incorporate - hint: the pasta should have a sheen, if it doesn't add olive oil a little at a time, stirring in between until it just shines. Once pasta is heated through (it doesn't take long - a mere few seconds) take the pot off the burner and add as much cheese as you want.
  6. Spoon penne, spoon vegetables on top and top with a sprinkling of cheese.
