    VEGETARIAN SAUCE WITH WHOLE-WHEAT
    PASTA

    2 tbsp. olive oil
    6 green onions, with tops, chopped
    1 lg. red or white onion, chopped
    4 cloves garlic, minced
    8 oz. mushrooms, sliced
    2 ribs celery with leaves, chopped
    2 med. red, green or yellow bell peppers, chopped
    1 (16 oz.) can vegetarian beans or 1 (16 oz.) can kidney beans
    1 c. water
    1/2 c. dry red wine (optional)
    1/4 c. minced fresh parsley
    1 bay leaf
    1 tbsp. chopped fresh oregano or 1 tsp. dried oregano
    1 tbsp. chopped fresh basil or 1/2 tsp. dried basil
    Freshly ground black pepper to taste
    12 oz. whole-wheat pasta
    4 oz. part-skim Mozzarella cheese, shredded

    In a large saucepan or Dutch oven, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add onions and garlic and saute until onions are soft, 2 to 3 minutes. Add remaining ingredients, except pasta and cheese, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, about 1 hour, stirring frequently. Remove bay leaf before serving.
