Tips
*If you like you may substitute your favorite dried multigrain pasta instead. Feel free to change up the vegetables in the recipe to fit your family's preferences or to take advantage of your garden bounty. Start cooking firm vegetables (such as green beans or cauliflower) first, and add quick-cooking veggies (such as zucchini or asparagus) at the end.For a more filling meal, add sauteed shrimp or chicken breast.
