Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces Penne pasta
- 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 cups Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 medium Zucchini, diced
- 1 medium Bell pepper, diced
- 2 cups Baby spinach

- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground

Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the penne pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente, about 10-12 minutes. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the cherry tomatoes, zucchini, and bell pepper to the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender.
Add the baby spinach to the skillet and cook for another 2 minutes, until the spinach is wilted.
Stir in the lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Toss to combine.
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet with the vegetables. Gently toss to coat the pasta with the vegetable mixture.
Remove from heat and sprinkle with torn basil leaves.
Serve immediately, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
