If you like Veggies then you'll love :Sauteed Vegetables over pasta:

I had lots of fresh veggies in my refrigerator and I’ve been outside tidying my garden so today was the day to make  a dish created for those of you who love vegetables..I remember my mom making something on this order but I thought if I changed it a bit and added a few different herbs and tweaked it a bit maybe it would work well over pasta..and it certainly did.   Tomorrow I'll have it with some Italian bread since there are will be leftovers..

Most days my guy prefers non leftover meals but I like this leftover for sure....Happy Cooking!


I served it over Fettuccine.but you can also serve it with some fresh Italian Bread or Roll 3/27/13

Nothing like fresh vegetables and herbs.


Started to cook..Remember don't overcook!

Tomatoes and broth added.




1/4 olive oil
1/2 thickly chopped red pepper
1/2 thickly chopped yellow pepper
1/2 thickly chopped orange pepper
