Rustic Pasta Primavera
Serves: 4
This simple, everyday pasta is an easy dinner to get on the
table on busy nights since you can put the sauce together while the penne cooks. The broccoli
has a pleasant roasted flavor from cooking in the skillet. With chicken and fresh vegetables
already in the pasta, just add a baguette to complete this satisfying meal.

Preparation
Cook the pasta according to package directions, just until tender. Keep
warm.
Spice blend
Meanwhile, stir the ingredients together in a small bowl and set
aside.
Sauce
Heat the oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add
the broccoli florets and cook for 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the bell pepper and cook
until the broccoli is crisp-tender and the bell pepper has softened slightly, about 2 minutes.
Stir to prevent sticking. The broccoli should begin to brown.
Lower the heat to medium. Add the mushrooms, garlic, and spice blend.
Cook, stirring constantly, until the mushrooms start to lose their juice and turn a very light
brown, about 2 minutes. Add the chicken, broth, wine, and pepper. Bring to a simmer, stirring
frequently. Pour the sauce over the drained pasta and toss well. Serve with the cheese.
