Ingredients:

Serving

1/2 cup broccoli floret
1/2 cup mushroom, sliced
1/2 cup zucchini (leave the skins on for more colour and nutrition)
1/2 cup red pepper, sliced (you can use green if you prefer , but the red just adds to the colour!)
1/2 cup peas (fresh or frozen, just not canned )
1 tbsp olive oil
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp margarine
1 cup fat-free evaporated milk
3/4 cup low-fat parmesan cheese
1/3 cup fresh parsley, chopped
16 oz angel hair pasta

Directions:

Steam broccoli, mushrooms, zucchini, pepper and peas for about 10 minutes. Remove from the steamer and leave uncovered so it doesn't continue to cook.
In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil and garlic over medium heat. Add the steamed vegetables and stir to coat. Remove from heat, but leave in pot and keep covered.
In another pot, heat the margarine, milk and parmesan cheese over medium heat until thickened. Stir continuously so it doesn't burn.
Cook pasta according to package directions, (or until al-dente)Drain, and top with vegetables, and pour sauce over top.
