Garden Linguini

Here's a recipe out of my cookbook. (p31)

I used a green bell pepper instead of red and onion powder because the kids don't like onions right now. It's a fun vegetarian meal to try!




Ingredients:
8 ounces linguini or rotini pasta
3 Tablespoons olive oil
1 Tablespoon butter
1 cup sliced mushrooms
½ cup sliced onions
2 cups snow peas, cut into halves
2 cups diced zucchini
½ red pepper, cut into strips (optional)
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon black pepper
½ cup Parmesan cheese

Cook linguini as directed on package; drain. Set aside. Heat oil and butter in saucepan; sauté mushrooms, onions, snow peas, zucchini and bell pepper, if desired, until crisp-tender. Remove saucepan from heat. Add seasonings to vegetable mixture. Toss with linguini. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over top.
