"These vegies are commonly found in your salad bars. The mixture is spiked with dry vermouth for flavor who's alcohol is burned off in cooking. Tossed with pasta this makes a great low fat main dish!"

Excellent - especially when the vegetables are plentiful and fresh. It is a very colorful and tasty dish. I sliced some chicken breasts, stir fried them in olive oil and then added them at the same time as the pasta. It made a nice one-dish meal.
