Not only is this nicely seasoned pasta and vegetable blend good, it's good for you.—Janet Boulger, Botwood, Newfoundland and Labrador
Ingredients:
1 cup light ricotta cheese
1/2 cup fat-free milk
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
4 teaspoons olive oil
1 each medium green, sweet red and yellow pepper, julienned
1 medium zucchini, sliced
1 cup frozen peas
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon dried basil
6 ounces fettuccine, cooked and drained
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, whisk ricotta cheese and milk; set aside. In a large skillet, saute garlic and pepper flakes in oil for 1 minute. Add peppers, zucchini, peas, oregano and basil. Cook and stir over medium heat until vegetables are crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Place fettuccine in a large bowl; add vegetables and cheese mixture. Toss to coat; serve immediately.
