One Dish Vegetable Pasta #glutenfree #vegan
There is nothing easier than an easy One Dish Vegetable Pasta dinner! This gluten free pasta recipe is studded with vegetables to make it a hearty and savory addition to your weekly meal plan.
Plus, when you use fresh garlic and onions, this dish packs a real immune-boosting punch! Both garlic and onions have strong antiviral and antibacterial properties, which can help keep you healthy! That is why I recommend cooking them just slightly. If the garlic and onions are overcooked, they will lose some of those immune-boosting compounds.
This recipe is mix and match! If you are short on one ingredient,say, the peppers, just add a little more of another ingredient, like broccoli or tomatoes. You could also add other veggies like zucchini or squash.
Make sure to use gluten free pasta in this dish to make it safe for those with gluten allergies or intolerances. There are many brands, including Jovial, DeBoles, Schar, and Barilla, that make great gluten-free pastas, so you can enjoy pasta dishes even if you’re going gluten-free.

A tasty and easy weeknight recipe
Servings: 6 servings
Calories: 357kcal
Ingredients
- 1 pound gluten-free pasta - I prefer a smaller cut like rigatoni or penne
- 1 head broccoli cut into bite-size pieces

- 1 green onion sliced thin
- 2 large cloves garlic
- fresh oregano
- fresh chives
- 2-4 tbsp olive oil

Instructions
- Put the pasta on to boil. Gluten-free pasta can sometimes be trickier than semolina pasta, so make sure to follow the directions on the package.
- Saute the broccoli and the peppers in 1-2 tbsp olive oil until tender . Remove and place in a small bowl.
- In the same pan on medium-low heat, saute the onions, garlic, and cherry tomatoes for 3 minutes. Do not brown. Add 1 tbsp olive oil.

You mention in the directions to sauté the broccoli and peppers, but in the ingredient list there are no peppers listed.
