Veggie Patch Pasta | WorldofPastabilities.com

Back to School…it’s never an easy transition!

We are used to late nights, late dinners, too much dessert, lots of friends, lots of popsicles and a flexible laid back schedule.  Not anymore folks!  The alarm goes off at 6:00 (or earlier), you I have to PUULLLLLL your my kids out of bed, make a healthy breakfast, remind them of the day’s activities, and get them on their way all before 7:00am.  And accomplish all of this while smiling and pretending I am happy and this is fun :)!  We are having fun, right?

All that being said, back to school is a special time of year for renewal and reflection.  The kids are a year older and ready to take on new challenges and adventures.  I’m a year older (yikes – not quite the same).  It is a time where I renew my “healthy eating” vows and declare that I’ll make at least 3 delicious meals for the family a week.

I fantasize about sitting around the kitchen table on those nights and laughing and talking about each other’s days.  But the reality of multi sports, endless school activities and conflicting schedules makes this dream a bit more difficult…

We may not ALL eat together every night, but I do make a deliberate effort to incorporate more vegetables and healthier recipes into the mix.  The Veggie Patch Pasta recipe here is light and healthy.  It’s a wonderful accompaniment to grilled chicken, fish, or pork.  The small pieces of veggies go almost unnoticed by the kids when tossed in this fresh tangy dressing.  I love vinaigrettes just for this reason.

Veggie Patch Pasta | WorldofPastabilities.com

 

Feel free to substitute whatever veggies you have on hand or in the garden.  Squash, zucchini, cucumber, etc….all would be delish!  I’ve featured ABC-123 Pasta, but any short shape can be used.  And don’t forget to save yourself some for lunch tomorrow.  So farewell summer!  Hello fall…football…cool nights…colorful leaves…comfort foods…farmers markets…actually, I think I’m ready!

If you are interested in seeing all of our pasta shapes, you can visit The Pasta Shoppe website.  And if you have any fundraising needs, please check out Fun Pasta Fundraising!  We’d love to hear from you!

    Looking forward to more healthy pasta recipes. My grandchildren love pasta and the more veggies they get with it the better. Any chance of making gluten free shapes?

      Yes! We do have a gluten free pasta (a tagliolini)…but not in fun shapes. We import it from Italy because it must be made in a dedicated gluten free facility…and as of now our plant is all about the gluten! You can check it out here: https://pastashoppe.com/product.php?id=149&&c=2

    Carol, you can make a 1/2 recipe…just make the vinaigrette and use enough for a 1/2 recipe – then save it for another salad! Can adjust veggies as you please! Thanks for your comment!

    We have been eating more fresh food and have cut way down on processed food. We have been making a pasta salad with fresh veggies and everyone likes it.

    Really good and fun recipe…love the ideas of white beans and roasted corn, which I’ll add next time–you might want to rename this “Veggie Mania,” as the addition of most any veg your family likes seems appropriate….your pasta blog is WOW, as I’ve never seen one devoted exclusively to it….thank you for sharing your genius of “quick-and-and-easy-go-to recipes!”
