This is the way my grandma made it. Be sure to use a large pot!
Ingredients:
8 ounces vermicelli, cooked and drained
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup fresh green beans
1 cup broccoli floret
3/4 cup zucchini, sliced (1/4-inch thick and halved)
1 small red bell pepper, cut into 1 1/2-inch strips
4 tablespoons green onions, sliced
1 (4 1/2 ounce) jar whole mushrooms
1 medium tomato, wedged
1/2 cup half-and-half
1/4 cup butter
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon italian seasoning
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 cup romano cheese, freshly grated
Directions:
1. Saute garlic in olive oil 1 minute; add green beans, broccoli, zucchini, pepper and onion; cook 5 minutes.
2. Add mushrooms and tomatoes and cook an additional 5 minutes.
3. In small saucepan, mix butter, half and half and spices until butter melts.
4. Remove from heat; mix in half of cheese, stirring well.
5. Toss sauce with vegetables, pasta and remaining cheese.
6. Note: Following the recipe, your veggies will still be crisp, if you like them more tender, you might want to par-cook the broccoli and green beans first.
