Creamy Penne with Savory Vegetables

I wanted to come up with a healthy version of a savory and hearty pasta with vegetables and this one, I nailed.

Ingredients:
- 3/4 pound penne
- 3 cups frozen assorted vegetables, broccoli, carrots, snow peas, peppers, etc.
- 1/2 onion, chopped into large chunks
- 20 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
- 2 boca burgers
- 1/2 teaspoon vegetable bullion cube
- water
- olive oil
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup of flour or thickener
- crushed red pepper flakes
- oregano
- salt
- pepper

To Make:
In a large pot, boil salted water and cook the pasta until it's al-dente, about 8-10 minutes for pene.

In the meantime, in a very large saute pan, drizzle olive oil and cook the onions and garlic about 5 minutes stirring occasionally. Season with salt. In the microwave, cook the boca burgers for 1 minute. Then, them in with the onions and garlic. Cover for the last 2 minutes.

Next, add the frozen veggies into the mix and season with 1/2 teaspoon of oregano. Then season with 1 teaspoon of salt, pepper, crushed red pepper flakes. Mix together. Add a tablespoon of olive oil. Cook on medium high heat for 8-9 minutes. Next, sprinkle the top with the flour or thickener.

Next, in 1/2 cup water, dissolve the bullion and add to the veggies. Mix together, creating a sauce. Cook the veggies another 3-4 minutes until they are tender yet still crunchy. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese and mix together. Add another 2 tablespoons of water if needed. Make sure the boca burgers are now mixed in and no longer whole, they should be in bite size chunks.

Drain the pasta and in a large mixing bowl, drizzle olive oil and toss in the pasta. Next toss the veggies in and mix together, adding another 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese.

Serve immediately.
