"When my family was young they loved pasta in any form, whether penne, farfalle or rigatoni, and it was a very good way of getting them to eat lots of fresh vegetables."
Ingredients
400g Barilla Farfalle2-3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 or 3 anchovies (optional, however gives a good subtle flavour)
4 vine ripened tomatoes, peeled and roughly chopped or Barilla Sauce
125g mushrooms, sliced
½ red capsicum
125g snow peas, trimmed
1 bunch of asparagus, ends trimmed and cut in lengths
125g stringless beans, trimmed 2 spring onions, chopped
salt and pepper to taste
Italian parsley for garnish
shaved parmesan
Preparation
Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil and cook Barilla pasta until al dente — do not overcook. Drain and keep warm.Heat olive oil in large fry pan. Add mashed anchovies and cook for minute or until combined. Add tomatoes or Barilla Sauce and then add your vegetable selection, adding the vegetables that take longer to cook first eg. beans, then capsicum etc.
Don't overcook as it is good to have the vegetables nice and crisp to retain their bright colours. Add the pasta and mix well. Salt and pepper to taste. Add garnish of chopped parsley and shaved parmesan.
Serve with crusty french bread or as a side dish with chicken. Enjoy!

Hot Tips
Tongs or fork
Avoid using a barbecue fork when turning steaks or meat on the barbecue (opt for tongs instead). The fork will pierce the meat encouraging the precious juices to flow out, rather than stay inside the meat and keep it tender.
Glossary
Arborio Rice
A medium- to long-grain rice, it absorbs a lot of cooking liquid yet still retains a good bite in texture. This classic risotto rice hails from the north Italian region of Piedmont.
