About this recipe

This dish is a real harbinger of spring for me. I remember how my grandma always got the first fresh ingredients from the market in spring and conjured up simple but incredibly delicious dishes. This penne with vegetables is a tribute to this uncomplicated, seasonal cuisine. The penne itself, with its grooved surface, wonderfully captures the light sauce. The red onion and garlic form the aromatic base, which develops a pleasant sweetness by sautéing in the Thermomix®. The zucchini, sliced, brings a delicate texture and a mild flavor that harmonizes perfectly with the tart cherry tomatoes. The green asparagus, a real spring vegetable, contributes a slightly bitter note and a crunchy bite. The peas, although from the freezer, bring a sweet freshness to the dish. The Thermomix® makes preparation a breeze. Chopping onions and garlic is lightning fast and without tears. Sautéing in the mixing bowl is particularly practical, as the temperature is precisely regulated and nothing burns. When sautéing zucchini and asparagus, pay attention to the reverse rotation so that the vegetables are not crushed. The collected cooking water from the pasta is important for the consistency of the sauce, as it contains starch and binds the sauce. For a vegan version, you can replace the cream with a plant-based alternative, such as cashew cream or soy cuisine. You can replace the Parmesan with nutritional yeast, which gives a similar cheesy taste. Instead of basil, you can also use other fresh herbs such as parsley, chives or oregano. A touch of chili flakes provides a pleasant spiciness. Serve the penne with a fresh salad, e.g. a rocket salad with balsamic dressing. A crispy baguette also goes perfectly with it. The penne with vegetables taste best freshly prepared. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator and reheated the next day. However, the vegetables may become a little softer. You can also prepare the vegetables and store them in the refrigerator to shorten the preparation time. However, the pasta should always be cooked fresh.
