Garden Vegatable Pasta

This is a recipe I put together when I was trying to figure out how to use all the veggies that were coming out of my garden. The veggies, combined with a few things I pulled out of the pantry and the freezer made a huge and delicious meal. Everyone loved it - even the kids! It's easy to vary the veggies depending on what you have.

Ingredients:

1 red onion

1 zucchini

1 yellow squash

1 tomato

4-5 orange carrots

4-5 purple carrots

1 green pepper

1 box penne pasta

1 jar alfredo sauce, warmed

1-2 tbsp. olive oil

2 C. frozen cooked shrimp, thawed, with tails removed

salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

Boil noodles as directed on package until slightly firm.

In Wok, add olive oil and warm. Add veggies in order of crispness, chopped into large chunks. For example, I added the carrots first since they take the longest to cook, then added the squash, pepper, onion, and the tomato last. When veggies are done, add the cooked pasta and the thawed shrimp. Finally, add the alfredo sauce, and salt and pepper to taste. You end up with a delicious, healthy, filling meal!
