Ingredients | Chicken Penne Pasta Recipe Easy

2 cups penne pasta

2 teaspoons olive oil

1 pound fresh asparagus, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces

3 carrots, cut into strips

2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved

1 clove garlic, minced, or more to taste

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 cup heavy whipping cream

¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions

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. Drain.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat-high heat; saute asparagus and carrots until tender yet firm to the bite, about 5 minutes. Add tomatoes and garlic; saute until garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute.

Stir Parmesan cheese, cream, and black pepper into vegetable mixture until cheese melts and sauce is smooth, 2 to 3 minutes. Add pasta to sauce and toss to coat.

This is a great base recipe. Try using green beans instead of asparagus, canned sun-dried tomatoes instead of cherry tomatoes, or add some fresh pesto to the cream sauce to mix up the flavor.
