Title: *Penne From Heaven
Categories: Main dish, Vegetarian
Yield: 4 servings

12 oz Penne or ziti
1 1/2 c Chopped onion
3 Minced cloves garlic
3 c Chopped plum tomatoes
1/2 c Water or stock
1/2 ts Salt
1/2 ts Sugar
2 c Broccoli florets
2 c Chopped zucchini
1 c Sugar snaps (remove string)
->OR<-
Snow peas or reg. peas
1 c Jullien carrots
x Herbs: Basil, Fines Herbs*
Or Italian Seasoning
x Salt & Pepper to taste
1/2 c Grated Parmesan (Soy or FF)

Cook the pasta according to directions on the package;
drain. While the pasta is cooking, heat some
cooking liquid over medium-high heat in a 3-quart
saucepan. Add the onion and garlic, (I also saute
shoestring carrot strips, like a cups worth which
makes it sweeter!) and cook, stirring, until softened.
Add the tomato (make sure these are nice ripe plum
tomatoes for best result!), water,salt and sugar.
Cook, stirring often, for 10 minutes. Add the
broccoli, zucchini, sugar snaps, carrot and parsley.
(Actually, put in any vegetables you want ... I often
just put in frozen peas in a pinch) Cook, stirring
until the vegetables are tender-crisp. Stir in the
Parmesean. Serve over the pasta. Substitute soy
parmesan if you are dairy free but don't leave the
parmesan out!

* Fines Herbs is a combination of herbs that is
similar to Italian Herb Seasoning but it is lighter on
the oregano. I prefer it to Italian Herb Seasoning.
