    List of Ingredients




    1 small head broccoli
    1 small head cauliflower
    1 small zucchini
    3 teaspoons salt
    1-1/2 cups bottled pasta sauce
    3 quarts water
    1/2 pound fettuccine noodles
    Grated parmesan cheese

    Recipe



    1. Put the broccoli on a cutting board. Using a knife, cut off the florets (the flowery-looking tops). Measure one cup of florets. Repeat this step with the cauliflower.

    3. Put the zucchini on the cutting board. Trim off the stem and the base. Then cut the zucchini into thin rounds.

    4. Fill a medium saucepan three-fourths full with water. Add 1-1/2 teaspoons of the salt. Put the pan on the stove and switch on the heat to high. When the water boils, slowly add broccoli, cauliflower, and zucchini. Cook until tender, about 4 minutes.

    5. Turn off the heat. Place colander in the sink. Remove the pan from the stove and pour the water and vegetables into the colander. Be very careful; steam can burn you.

    6. Return the vegetables to the saucepan. Pour in the pasta sauce. Set the pan on the stove and switch on the heat to medium. Heat, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon, until hot. Turn down the heat to very low.

    7. Now pour the 3 quarts water into a large saucepan. Add the remaining 1-1/2 teaspoons salt. Put the pan on the stove and switch on the heat to high. When the water boils, slowly add the fettuccine and stir once or twice with a wooden spoon. Boil until tender, about 8 minutes or according to package directions.

    8. Turn off the heat. Remove the pan from the stove and carefully pour the water and pasta into the colander.

    9. Transfer the noodles to a large serving bowl. Pour the sauce over the top. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and serve.
