Caroline Manzo Opens Her Recipe Box

Hungry? We are. That always seems to happen whenever Caorline Manzo rolls out a new recipe. This time, the Real Housewives of New Jersey star is offering a taste of her pasta primavera on her blog:

Start by rounding up these ingredients:

1 zucchini, sliced
1 bunch of asparagus, sliced
1 package of sliced mushrooms
2-3 diced plum tomatoes
2-3 garlic cloves, sliced
1 pound of rigatoni pasta
4-5 tablespoons of olive oil
Parmesan cheese
Salt and fresh ground black pepper

"Sauté the garlic in the olive oil on medium heat," Caroline writes on her site. "Add the zucchini, tomatoes, asparagus, and mushrooms. Cook until vegetables are cooked through."

Caroline guides you the rest of the way on her site. And if you have some extra zucchini in the fridge, you can also pull up her shredded fried zucchini recipe.
