Title: *Penne From Heaven
Categories : Main dish, Vegetarian
Serving size: 4 servings 12 oz Penne or ziti 1 1/2 c Chopped onion 3 Minced cloves garlic 3 c Chopped plum tomatoes 1/2 c Water or stock 1/2 ts Salt 1/2 ts Sugar 2 c Broccoli florets 2 c Chopped zucchini 1 c Sugar snaps (remove string) ->OR<- Snow peas or reg. peas 1 c Jullien carrots x Herbs: Basil, Fines Herbs* Or Italian Seasoning x Salt & Pepper to taste 1/2 c Grated Parmesan (Soy or FF) Cook the pasta according to directions on the package; drain. While the pasta is cooking, heat some cooking liquid over medium-high heat in a 3-quart saucepan. Add the onion and garlic, (I also saute shoestring carrot strips, like a cups worth which makes it sweeter!) and cook, stirring, until softened. Add the tomato (make sure these are nice ripe plum tomatoes for best result!), water,salt and sugar. Cook, stirring often, for 10 minutes. Add the broccoli, zucchini, sugar snaps, carrot and parsley. (Actually, put in any vegetables you want ... I often just put in frozen peas in a pinch) Cook, stirring until the vegetables are tender-crisp. Stir in the Parmesean. Serve over the pasta. Substitute soy parmesan if you are dairy free but don't leave the parmesan out! * Fines Herbs is a combination of herbs that is similar to Italian Herb Seasoning but it is lighter on the oregano. I prefer it to Italian Herb Seasoning. From the Wholesome Harvest Cookbook, Carole Gelles, p.131. Modified by Sue Smith, TXFT40A@Prodigy.com. Original formatting and comments S. Grabowski. -----
