Pasta Mama

Pasta Mama is an easy, vegetarian meal that can be ready in less than 20 minutes! It couldn't be a better weeknight family dinner option! I find it to be a lifesaver, especially on weeknights. When I first started making it I would take my kids to the grocery and tell them they could pick out any vegetables they wanted from the produce aisle to put into it. All of my kids have always been partial to onions and zucchini and bell peppers as well. With the latter two being in season now, it helps cut down on the price of the dish. Still, you should feel free to improvise with using whatever vegetables you prefer or have on hand. In 20 minutes or less you will have this piping hot meal on your table, ready for the whole family to dig in!
