    List of Ingredients




    16 ounces small shell pasta
    1 cup each sliced yellow squash and zucchini
    1 cup each julienned red bell pepper and chopped green bell pepper
    4 tablespoons butter
    3/4 cup chopped green onions
    1 1/2 cups chicken or vegetable broth
    1 small tomato, peeled, crushed
    1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
    1 tablespoon chopped fresh Italian parsley

    Recipe



    1. Cook pasta using package directions; drain well.
    2. Meanwhile, bring 4 cups water to a boil in a large saucepan over high heat. Add yellow squash, zucchini and bell peppers. Boil for 2 minutes; drain. Rinse with cold water; drain.

    3. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Saute blanched vegetables and green onions in butter until crisp-tender, about 3 - 4 minutes.

    4. Add the chicken broth and tomato. Bring to a boil. Cook until reduced by half, about 5 minutes.

    5. Add pasta to vegetable mixture. Cook for 1 minute. Transfer mixture to a large bowl. Add Parmesan, parsley, salt and black pepper to taste and toss lightly to mix. Serve immediately.
