This is a tasty, quick, flavorful dish.
Whole grain penne pasta comes together with onions, garlic, zucchini and mushrooms. Sun-dried tomatoes and crushed red pepper flakes give it a big flavor punch!
You know how I love a quick meal and this one is no exception, even though it takes a bit longer than 15 minutes total. And it’s got just a bit of zing from the crushed red pepper flakes (but if you don’t like spicy, feel free to leave them out entirely).
And if there are any leftovers, this makes a very tasty lunch!
