Fettuccine with Harvest vegetables
Source: Mommy Logan
- 1/2 lb broccoli, tough ends trimmed off
- 1 lg carrot, peeled and cut into chunks
- 4 cups spinach leaves, rinsed and drained
- 1 sm yellow bell pepper, stemmed, seeded, and quartered
- 1 1/2 cups diced tomatoes
- 2 tbs butter
- 1 clove garlic, minced or pressed
- 1 cup half-and-half
- 8 oz fettuccine
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1/2 tsp salt
Cut broccoli into large chunks. In a food processor or with a knife, finely chop separately the broccoli, carrots, spinach, bell pepper, and tomatoes.
Combine butter and garlic in a 10 to 12 inch frying pan on medium-high heat. Add vegetables; stir often until just tender to bite, 4-5 minutes. Add cream and salt. On high heat, boil, uncovered, until sauce is reduced to 3 1/2 cups, 8-10 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a 5-6 quart pan, cook pasta uncovered, in 4 quarts boiling water until just tender to bite. Add pasta to sauce and mix in cheese.
Note: Frozen vegetables may be used instead of fresh. Since they are diced into such small pieces, the texture of frozen vegetables isn't as noticeable.
