Pasta With Vegetables

I made a regular pasta with some veggies in it this week for dinner, it was super tasty, and healthy! I found the recipe here.

Ingredients:

• 1/3 cup of olive oil
• 1 green bell pepper, chopped
• 1 red bell pepper, chopped
• 2 tbsp. red wine vinegar
• 1 tsp. dried basil
• 1 tsp. dried oregano
• salt and pepper to taste
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 carrots, sliced
• 1 1/2 cups broccoli, lightly steamed or blanched
• 4 cups uncooked rotini pasta

Instructions:

1. Mix together the oil, vinegar, basil, oregano, salt and pepper. Set aside.
2. Bring a large pot of salted water to boil; add rotini and bring to a boil again. Cook until rotini is soft; drain well. Return the rotini to the pot.
3. While rotini is cooking heat oil in a frying pan and saute red bell pepper, green bell pepper, garlic and carrots. Cook until vegetables are softened. Place the broccoli in the frying pan and cook another 2 minutes.
4. Pour the cooked vegetables into the pot with the pasta. Pour the vinaigrette over the pasta and vegetables. Toss to distribute vegetables and vinaigrette evenly.

Changes:

I used a different type of noodle but other than that I didn't make any changes to this recipe, it tasted super yummy the way it was, although I could have added some more vegetables just to change it up a bit.
