For a simple pasta dish with perfectly cooked vegetables, Atlanta’s Old Vinings Inn serves up a longtime customer favorite.

Owner Lee Schulman credits the recipe to executive chef Chris Lee and then-general manager Tara Madar.

“Our guests love this dish because of the light and versatile preparation. It highlights seasonal vegetables, it’s vegetarian and vegan when served without the Parmesan garnish, and you can always add a protein like grilled shrimp or chicken to make this a heartier meal,” Schulman says.

The vegetables and the pasta in this dish vary by season.
