8 oz whole-wheat bowtie pasta
2 cups cut green beans (or 1 lb frozen)
1 cup sliced carrots
1/2 cup red wine vinaigrette dressing

1-1/2 medium tomatoes, cut into thin wedges

Pepper, to taste

Fill a 5-quart saucepan two-thirds full with water; bring to a boil. Add pasta and cook according to package directions. Reduce heat to low; simmer, uncovered, for 8 minutes. Add green beans and carrots; simmer uncovered for 4 minutes, until pasta is tender and vegetables are crisp-tender. Drain well.
