Notes
Invent Your Recipe:
Vegetables sauteed in garlic and oil with some diced tomatoes and pasta, what a wonderful meal, and one of my favorites. I have made this recipe with broccoli, peas, brussels sprouts, peppers and onions, and spinach.
I have another featured post with green beans with tomatoes and garlic. That is another way to enjoy this recipe, without the added calories of the pasta. Leave out the grated cheese and you have a vegan recipe.
