Pasta Primavera

Looks good right?


 So we are trying new meatless meals because our BuddyBooBoo is a 4yr. old self proclaimed vegetarian. Which is fine with us but does make menu planning a little hard at times, because I have to hope he will eat what I cook. With this recipe I did have to add some additional seasonings and that was it.

I'm not a fan of honey mustard and well this recipe called for it and to be honest it was a welcoming taste of flavor. It made the meal sweet and it was very light yet filling. I was shocked! So without further ado here's the recipe.

1 C. zucchini, peeled and chopped   1 C. red pepper, chopped ( I added mini sweet peppers)
1 C. yellow squash, peeled and chopped  1 C. carrots, peeled and chopped (I use baby)
1 C. eggplant, peeled and chopped   6 Tbsp. honey mustard, divided  3 Tbsp. olive oil
2 Tbsp. cider vinegar  1 Tbsp. basil  8 oz. pkg, penne pasta, cooked  *1 tsp. Italian seasoning
1 1/2 tsp. garlic powder  1/2 tsp. onion powder

* Seasonings I added to the meal*

Toss veggies with 4 Tbsp. mustard; broil until tender and set aside. Whisk remaining mustard, vinegar, oil and seasonings in a large serving bowl; add pasta, stirring gently. Fold in veggies tossing lightly until well coated.
