Equipment

  • Large Pot
  • Large Skillet
  • Colander

Ingredients
  

  • 12 ounces penne pasta
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 cup sliced carrots
  • 1 cup zucchini slices
  • 1/2 cup green peas
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the penne pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  • While the pasta cooks, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  • Add the broccoli florets and sliced carrots to the skillet. Stir and cook for 3 minutes.
  • Add the zucchini slices and green peas. Continue cooking for another 3 to 4 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still bright.
  • Add the drained pasta to the skillet. Toss everything together and season with salt and black pepper.
  • Remove from heat and sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the top. Toss once more before serving.

Notes

Use a blacklight at the table to make the green vegetables stand out for the glow-in-the-dark effect. If the carrots need more time, add them first before the softer zucchini and peas. Leftovers reheat well in a skillet with a splash of water to loosen the pasta.
