Just-picked veggies, pleasing bow tie pasta and flavorful seasonings mix together to make a delicious dish. To top it off, Miriam Hershberger of Holmesville, Ohio says it's easy and fun to fix. Our daughter likes to make the pasta on a regular basis, remarks Miriam. Ingredients:
1 cup italian salad dressing |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
1 cup packed fresh basil leaves |
2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese |
2 tablespoons chopped walnuts |
1 tablespoon minced garlic |
2 cups quartered fresh mushrooms |
1 cup fresh broccoli florets |
1 cup fresh cauliflowerets |
1 medium onion, julienned |
1 small green pepper, julienned |
1 small zucchini, sliced |
1 yellow summer squash, sliced |
3 carrots, julienned |
1 can (14 ounces) water-packed artichoke hearts, rinsed, drained and quartered |
4 cups cooked multicolor cheese-filled tortellini |
2 cups cooked bow tie pasta |
Directions:
1. In a blender, combine the first six ingredients; process on high until smooth. In a large skillet, saute the vegetables in 1/2 cup salad dressing mixture for 3 to 3-1/2 minutes or until crisp-tender. Add pasta. Drizzle with remaining dressing; toss to coat. Serve warm or cold. Yield: 14 servings.
