That is A LOT of pasta and we're not mad about it!  We found this cute veggie radiatore at Target and knew it would be so much fun coming up with a recipe to highlight it’s cute shape! This sauce combines extra virgin olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper, lemon, red pepper flakes and Herbes de Provence! Full recipe dEATs below. Enjoy!

INGREDIENTS:

1 cup Target Simply Balanced veggie radiatore pasta.
2 tablespoons Olive Oil
2 to 3 scallions (white & light green parts) finely sliced
1/4 cup thinly sliced sun dried tomato
1/2 cup frozen peas
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepperflakes
Juice of 1/2 a lemon.
1 pinch crushed peppercorn & herbes de Provence, more to taste
1 pinch salt, more to taste
1 handful fresh grated or shaved parmesan.

DIRECTIONS:

Heat 4 cups of water with about a tsp each, of salt and olive oil. When it boils, add the Pasta and cook as per the instructions on the package. When the pasta is done, remove it from the boiling water and drain.

In a skillet heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and saute the peas and scallions until scallions are translucent. Add the sun-dried tomatoes, black pepper and red chili flakes about 3-5 minutes.

Add the veggies and herbes de Provence to the strained pasta and toss. Drizzle with lemon juice and more EVOO to your preference.

Add the Cheese right before eating or serving! I love eating this warm but it’s also great cold! Enjoy!
