Ingredients:

1 cup gluten-free pasta
100g
1 garlic clove
3g
1 tbsp olive oil
14g
2 cups broccoli
140g
1 carrot
70g
2 cups vegetable broth
480g
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
50g
1/2 cup peas
30g

Instructions:

1. Cook the Pasta:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gluten-free penne pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. Prepare the Vegetables:
- While the pasta is cooking, wash the broccoli and cut it into small florets. Peel and thinly slice the carrot. If using fresh peas, shell them; if using frozen peas, measure out the required amount.
3. Cook the Vegetables:
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the finely chopped garlic clove and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant.
- Add the broccoli and carrot to the skillet, stirring occasionally for about 2-3 minutes.

4. Simmer with Broth:
- Pour in the 2 cups of vegetable broth and bring to a simmer. Let the vegetables cook in the broth for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are tender but still crisp.
5. Add the Peas:
- Add the peas to the skillet and stir to combine. Let cook for another 2-3 minutes.
6. Combine Pasta and Vegetables:
- Add the cooked gluten-free penne pasta to the skillet with the vegetables. Toss everything together to ensure the pasta is evenly mixed with the vegetables and broth.
7. Finish with Cheese:
- Reduce the heat to low and sprinkle the 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese over the pasta and vegetables. Stir gently until the cheese is melted and well incorporated, forming a light, creamy coat on the pasta.
8. Serve:
- Remove from heat and transfer the penne primavera to serving plates. Garnish with additional Parmesan cheese or fresh herbs if desired.
9. Enjoy!

Tips:

- Be sure to closely follow the cooking time for the gluten-free pasta as it can overcook easily.

- Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers, zucchini, or spinach to enhance the flavor and nutritional value.

- To save time, you can use pre-chopped vegetables or frozen versions, just adjust the cooking times as needed.

- For a dairy-free version, you can substitute the parmesan cheese with a dairy-free alternative or nutritional yeast.

- Don't forget to taste and adjust the seasoning before serving to suit your preference.

Congratulations, you've just made a delicious and nutrient-rich Gluten-free Penne Primavera!
