PASTA PRIMAVERA

You can use pretty much any type of pasta in this recipe. Personally I like it with shells, bows or tubes. This serves 2 for a complete meal.
 
1/2 lb whole-wheat pasta shells 2 medium onions
5 cloves garlic 1/4 cup olive oil
2 cups vegetables (see method) 1 cup grated cheese
Parmesan cheese 1/2 green pepper
2 chilies (optional) Salt & pepper
1/2 cup sour cream 2 green onions and parsley for garnish

METHOD

Vegetables may be celery, broccoli, cauliflower - any veg suitable for stir frying may be used. Chop onion, garlic, chilies, parsley, vegetables. Put pasta in salted boiling water with 2 tsps corn oil. Bring back to boil, stir. Boil for eight minutes, stirring occasionally.

Meanwhile heat olive oil in a wok to 375 deg or in a large saucepan on high heat. When oil is hot add garlic and stir for a few seconds until light brown. Add onions and chilies and stir fry 2 minutes. Add vegetables and stir fry for five minutes or until veg is cooked but still firm. Turn heat to low.

When pasta is done, drain in a colander and shake to dry. Add to the veg mixture and mix lightly. Add cheese, sour cream and seasoning and mix lightly to combine. Garnish with chopped green onions and parsley and serve immediately with freshly grated parmesan cheese.
