     Title: Penne From Heaven
Categories: Main dish, Vegetarian
     Yield: 4 servings

    12 oz Penne or ziti
 1 1/2 c  Onion; chopped
     3 cl Garlic; minced
     3 c  Plum tomatoes; chopped
   1/2 c  Water or stock
   1/2 ts Salt
   1/2 ts Sugar
     2 c  Broccoli florets
     2 c  Zucchini; chopped
     1 c  Sugar snaps; remove string -OR-
     1 c  Snow peas or regular peas
     1 c  Carrots; jullienned
          Herbs: Basil, Fines Herbs, or*
          - Italian Seasoning
          Salt & pepper; to taste
   1/2 c  Parmesan; grated

 Cook the pasta according to directions on the package; drain. While
 the pasta is cooking, heat some cooking liquid over medium-high
 heat in a 3 qt saucepan. Add the onion and garlic, (I also saute
 shoestring carrot strips, like a cups worth which makes it
 sweeter!) and cook, stirring, until softened. Add the tomato (make
 sure these are nice ripe plum tomatoes for best result!), water,
 salt, and sugar. Cook, stirring often, for 10 minutes. Add the
 broccoli, zucchini, sugar snaps, carrot, and parsley. (Actually,
 put in any vegetables you want ... I often just put in frozen peas
 in a pinch.) Cook, stirring until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
 Stir in the Parmesean. Serve over the pasta. Substitute soy
 parmesan if you are dairy free but don't leave the parmesan out!

 * Fines Herbs is a combination of herbs that is similar to Italian
 Herb Seasoning but it is lighter on the oregano. I prefer it to
 Italian Herb Seasoning.
