This pasta is baked with loads of lightly sauteed vegetables, lemon, a creamy sauce and a sprinkling of cheese too. Barilla Plus is the very brand of pasta that I use for my family all the time. Believe me- they love it, and they don’t notice any difference over using regular ‘ol pasta. It’s a “multi-grain” pasta consisting of a blend of semolina, oats, spelt, barley, legumes, flaxseed and oat fiber. Combined with some veggies and other delicious and healthy goodies, it’s easy to create a delicious pasta meal for my family. If you can’t find Barilla, it’s okay to use another brand of whole grain pasta. You can also use regular spaghetti for this recipe.
Baked Lemon Chicken Spaghetti Primavera is packed with broccoli, carrots, bell pepper and tomato.
The pasta is boiled and cooked to al dente (just shy of being soft).
The vegetables are sautéed in a little bit of garlic, and are then added to the spaghetti and chicken. A lemony cheese sauce is mixed in too.
The mixture is spread into a baking dish, topped with tomatoes, wrapped with foil and baked. The cheese is sprinkled on in the end, along with a good drizzle of fresh lemon juice- then baked again until everything is melted and lovely.
There it is- melted and perfect and ready for dinner.
This one gets a big thumbs up from my boys. They love pasta of every kind, and this dish is no exception. The nice thing about this recipe is that you can change up the vegetables to suit what your family likes to eat. I’d suggest trying zucchini or peas or mushrooms or asparagus too. There are only three of us in my family, so we enjoy leftovers the next day. The leftovers are just as good!
