Pasta Primavera (or make without pasta)
INGREDIENTS
1 cup sliced zucchini
1 cup sliced broccoli
1 1/2 cups snow peas
1 cup baby peas
6 asparagus spears, sliced
10 white mushrooms, sliced
1 heaping tablespoon salt, preferable kosher
1 pound fettucine
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/3 cup pine nuts
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1/2 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
Freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
5 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup heavy cream
1/3 cup chopped fresh basil
2 tomatoes, coarsely chopped
1. Fit a steamer basket into a large pot. Add a small amount of water to the pot and bring to a boil. Place the zucchini, broccoli, snow peas, baby peas, asparagus, and mushrooms in the steamer basket, cover, and steam until tender, about 3 minutes. Rinse the vegetables under cold water and allow to drain.
2. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the salt and the fettucine. Cook until al dente.
3. Meanwhile, in a large saute pan, heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over medium heat. Ad the pine nuts and garlic and cook, stirring, until they begin to turn golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, and then the steamed vegetables. Next add the parsley and salt and pepper to taste. Cook until all the vegetables are heated through, 2 to 3 minutes.
4. Drain the pasta and add it to the saute pan. Add the Parmigiano-Reggiano, butter, cream, and basil, and heat thoroughly. Toss, then scatter the tomatoes on top. Serve immediately.
Serves 6.

You mean like pasta primavera? It's pretty easy.
Take some veggies such as zucchini, bell peppers, mushrooms, onion, carrots, broccoli; saute in a little oil, salt, pepper, italian seasoning. Boil some fettecini (no idea how to spell it) pasta. Put veggies on top of noodles. Add cheese, my fave is feta, but you can use parmesan or mozzarella too.
