Fresh Garden Pasta

WOW it's been a while since I've posted!  Sorry for my absence!  Things have been crazy here, but I have an AMAZING pasta to share with you as penance for my neglect!  :)  This pasta was such a huge hit in my house, every one in my family had seconds!  We've discovered the secret to getting my kids (very picky eaters) to eat their body weight in veggies is to have a garden and include them in the process of growing, cultivating and harvesting!  Jacob in particular will at least try a bite of anything he weeded or watered.  I'll have a post later about our garden! For now, I bring you:  Fresh Garden Pasta!


Ingredients:
Cooked pasta (your choice though we used shells)- 4 cups 
Large Red Pepper sliced
Two Medium Zucchini sliced
1 cup mushrooms sliced
2 tsp grapeseed oil
Parmasean cheese, salt, pepper, and Wildtree foods Spaghetti Seasoning to taste


Saute veggies in the grapeseed oil beginning with the zucchini, followed by the red peppers and lastly the mushrooms. The mushrooms will take much less time to cook, so by following this order, they should finish at the same time.  Add salt, pepper and Spaghetti seasoning (1 tbsp of the latter) as veggies are sauteing.  When the veggies are nice and soft, but not overcooked, toss with the cooked pasta.  Top with shredded parmasean cheese right before serving.  Lastly, watch as your family devours this delicious AND nutritious meal!
