A Pasta For All Seasons Recipe

  1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil; prepare pasta according to package directions.
  2. When done, drain and place in large serving bowl; keep hot if necessary.
  3. Meanwhile, heat oil in large nonstick frying pan over medium heat.
  4. Add in onion; saute/fry for 3 to 5 min, till translucent/soft.
  5. Add in garlic; saute/fry 2 min longer, being careful not to let mix brown.
  6. Add in salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Add in 1/2 c. wine; simmer 2 to 3 min.
  8. Add in remaining 1/2 c. wine; simmer 2 more min.
  9. Add in basil, broccoli, cauliflower, mushrooms, carrots and bell pepper; simmer for 10 min.
  10. Add in tomatoes and thyme, stirring gently.
  11. Bring to a slow boil.
  12. Reduce heat to low; simmer for 10 min.
  13. Add in sauce mix and pine nuts to pasta; stir to coat well.
  14. Stir in 1/2 c. grated cheese.
  15. Sprinkle additional cheese on top.
  16. Sprinkle with a little minced parsley, garnish with parsley sprigs and serve.
  17. Yields 4 to 6 servings.
  18. Comments: Glines suggests cutting only half the bell pepper into strips, then cutting the other half into a jack-o-lantern face to use as a Halloween or possibly fall garnish; cutting a green bell pepper half in a Christmas tree shape during the holidays; or possibly a red bell-pepper half into a heart for Valentine's Day.
