SPRING PASTA STIR-FRY
Pampered Chef - ALL THE BEST pg.57
One of my favorites.
Takes about 25 mintues or so to prepare. Cooked on the stove.

1 pkg (12 oz) uncooked fettuccini noodles (I like spinach)
1 large carrot, peeled and cut into julienne strips
1 small yellow summer squash, cut into julienne strips
1 small zucchini, cut into julienne strips
3 plum tomatoes, seeded and cut into strips
2 T. olive oil, divided
2 garlic cloves, pressed
3/4 tsp. salt, divided
1/4 c. snipped fresh basil leaves
1/4 tsp. ground pepper
1 ounce shaved fresh Parmesan cheese

Cook pasta and keep warm.

Prepare veggies.

Heat stir-fry skillet over medium heat. Add 1 T. of the oil and garlic. Cook and stir 2-3 minutes or until garlic is softened and begins to brown. Add carrot, yellow squash, zucchini, tomatoes and 1/4 tsp of the salt. Stir-fry 1-2 minutes or until veggies are crisp-tender.

Add remaining oil, remaining salt, basil and black pepper to pasta; toss gently. To serve, spoon pasta into serving bowl; top with vegetables mixture. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately.
