Late Night Pasta and Veggies

My boyfriend got off of work late one night and was pretty hungry by the time he got home. I had all these ingredients around the house and it really came together nicely. You can add or omit almost any veggie!!

• Ready In: 25 mins
• Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 2  cups  whole wheat penne
• 1⁄4 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 1⁄3 cup  red pepper
• 1⁄3 cup green pepper
• 1⁄2 cup zucchini
• 2  tablespoons  instant chicken broth
• 3  garlic cloves, finely chopped
• 1  tablespoon fresh ground pepper

Directions

1. Start pasta boiling (if it gets done before your veggies just try to keep it warm).
2. Heat olive oil on medium heat.
3. Cut veggies into bite size pieces.
4. Put veggies into pan with oil and let heat for a couple minutes.
5. Add pepper, more if desired.
6. Add chicken broth and continue heating.
7. Stir occasionally.
8. (Add more olive oil or broth if you don't think there is enough liquid).
9. Add garlic shortly before removing from heat (just so it doesn't burn).
10. After draining pasta LEAVE IN STRAINER!
11. Put the strainer over a bowl or container and pour veggie mix over pasta.
12. Mix pasta and veggies while in strainer and then dump into container.
13. Serve with garlic bread or a light dusting of cheese, would go well with grilled chicken as well.
