Quick, Easy and Inexpensive

This is a lightened version of "The Pioneer Woman's" Pasta Primavera, reworked to be just over 400 calories per serving instead of 900+ per serving.
To lighten it further, use more broth in place of wine.
If you wish, add 2 chicken thighs or some extra-firm tofu to add protein.
(Nutritional info includes wine, but not chicken or tofu).

Fresh & easy - with endless variations! Very yummy! This recipe came from Vegetarian Times; I've made a few changes.

This recipe is very flexible. You can add any fresh vegetables you like, and use whatever pasta you wish. It's best not to overcook the veggies.

Roasted Veggies mixed with rice noodles creates this flavor explosion in your mouth. Makes a beautiful presentation that pleases even finicky eaters.

This recipe can be custom made to anyone's personal tastes by both adding or omitting the ingredients I put in my dish. The options are as limitless as the cook's imagination. Add/omit any fresh/frozen vegetable desired - ex. snow peas/peas, green beans, spinach, etc. Crab meat or scallops can be substituted or added to the shrimp for variety.
