Whole Wheat Pasta Primavera


I found an old package of whole wheat pasta in my pantry and decided to try making the pasta primavera recipe on the package.  Years ago we decided whole wheat pasta tasted terrible. I did some googling and some recommended boiling whole wheat pasta for a bit longer, say 15 minutes. They also said it should not be treated like regular pasta with tomatoes, cheese or even cream sauces. Here is what I did. It was delicious.

Whole wheat spaghetti
1 onion chopped
2 cloves garlic minced
1 sweet pepper cut into thin strips
1 c sweet peas
2 tbs olive oil
1 tbs cornstarch
1 1/2c stock
1 tsp dried basil
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper

Cook spaghetti 15 mins (whole wheat takes a bit longer than regular pasta).
Heat oil in saute pan. Saute onion, garlic, salt, black pepper, and basil. Add sweet pepper and peas.
whisk corn starch into the stock, stir into the vegetables. Mix in the pasta and enjoy.
