[Guest guest]

That is great news. i think you will find this

happens quite often once you just start cooking

vegetarian food... people will want to taste it and

they will love it. Bravo!

 

Here is the recipe reposted for everyone else.

It can be found in the files section in the main

dishes folder, but i thought i would dig it out.

There are so many wonderful tried and true

recipes stored in there so if you haven't before

do take a look. It is an awesome resource.

Italian Throw Together Dinner

~ By Sherri

 

Last nite was one of thos " throw together " nights,

whee I just pulled stuff out

of the cupboards/fridge and tossed it all together.

It turned out quite tasty.

 

Here's what I used:

 

1 zuccini, chopped

1/2 red pepper, chopped

1/2 yellow pepper, chopped

garlic (maybe 4 or 5 cloves, minced)

1 can canellini beans

most of a jar of pasta sauce

1 small package of cheese tortollini

italian seasoning

olive oil

 

I sauteed the zuccini, peppers, garlic and italian

seasoning in the olive oil

for a few minutes, then poured the sauce over

and stirred in the beans. In the

meantime, in a separate pot, I cooked the tortellini.

Add the drained al dente

pasta to the rest, and stir to coat with sauce. Simmer

for s short while

longer, to make sure flavours are well blended, and

serve hot.

 

This was really easy, had lots of great colours and

textures, and was quite

filling. For a throw-together dinner, we all enjoyed it.
