I’m at it again with a delicious and easy-to-make One Pot Creamy Vegetable Linguine pasta dinner that is out of this world good and even better chocked full of veggies. I really would love to call this clean out the vegetable crisper pasta but I know that no one would ever find the recipe that way. To make it a little more SEO friendly.
Let’s get back to all the veggies. I used the OXO Juliene slicer to sneak in the zucchini. My son eats it up this way–any other way he won’t touch zucchini with a 10-foot pole. The little shreds of zucchini stick to the pasta and other veggies making this a great sneaky way to get in extra veggies. He loved the pasta too.
This recipe makes a lot of pasta. Make sure you cook it in a large pot or dutch oven like the one I cooked mine in. You’ll get a good 6-8 servings of pasta. And it keeps getting better each and every day it sits in the creamy sauce. I brought it to a playdate the following day–just thinking the parents would gobble this up for lunch.
To all of our surprise the kids were fighting over each others plates of pasta. Every kid was chowing down on pasta and veggies. Who doesn’t love a good creamy pasta. This is totally toddler approved since I had 5 picky toddlers all chowing down on this pasta.

Or eat it just like it is–it’s hearty and filling and chocked full of veggies. If your entertaining this is the pasta recipe to make for the crowd.
