Easy Pasta Primavera

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

Serving size: 6.

 

2 tablespoons oil

1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (or equivalent dried)

1/4 cup chopped fresh basil (or equivalent dried)

2 teaspoons crushed fresh garlic

1/3 cup sliced mushrooms (or more!)

1/3 cup sliced cucumber or zucchini

1/3 cup julienned carrots

1/3 cup julienned yellow or green bell pepper

1/3 cup diced onion

1 15-ounce can Hunt's Ready Tomato Sauces Chunky Italian

1 15-ounce can Hunt's Choice-Cut Diced Tomatoes w/ Roasted Garlic

1 pound gemelli or tri-colored rotelle pasta, cooked and drained

 

 

1) Put oil in saucepan on low to medium heat with parsley, basil and

garlic; saute for 2 minutes or until nicely cooked and the garlic is

nicely browned.

2) Stir in mushrooms, cucumber or zucchini, carrots, bell pepper, and

onion; saute until tender.

3) Add Hunt's Ready Tomato Sauce and Choice-Cut Tomatoes to vegetable

mixture, and stir in well.

4) Bring the sauce to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10

minutes, uncovered.

 

Serve sauce over hot cooked pasta, and garnish with grated Parmesan cheese

and a sprig of fresh basil, if desired.

 

NOTE: for a more balanced and mellow flavour, add a few tablespoons of

red cooking wine during the sauteeing (I prefer doing this --

I think it tastes a bit better to my taste buds)
