Did you read “21 seasoning” and feel a little overwhelmed? Don’t! This is the easiest recipe ever.
Remember when I wrote about Trader Joe’s 21 Seasoning Salute and the soup I made with it? Well, I was determined to make a delicious pasta dish using only this seasoning. Success!
You can really use any vegetables for this {cauliflower and broccoli would be good} but here’s what I did:
Prepare pasta {gluten-free if you’d like} according to directions. Reserve some of the pasta water. Set aside.
Drizzle a skillet with olive oil. Over medium, saute a shallot, half an onion, and half a leek until they begin to caramelize. Add in chopped zucchini, yellow squash, and sun-dried tomatoes. Sprinkle with 21 Seasoning Salute. Saute until tender. If needed, add some of the pasta water so the vegetables don’t dry out.
Combine vegetables and pasta; sprinkle with shaved or grated parmesan cheese and fresh parsley. Done!
Tips:
- I didn’t have any fresh parsley so I popped a parsley cube on top of the prepared pasta in a Tupperware. By the next morning, the parsley cube had melted!
- I think this pasta is actually better the next day; it allows time for the seasoning to marinade with the other flavors.
- This would be an even quicker recipe if your vegetables are already chopped. If you’re more tight on time than money, pick up pre-chopped vegetables at the grocery store. I even saw one blogger who grabs vegetables from the salad bar and uses them in recipes!
