     I had this also with out the pasta and I cut down on the oil and near the end. I added a wholewheat slice of bread in the pan. Just to brown it on low. press it down and truned it over. it was so yummy. - 6/30/09

     Awesome recipe, the veggies taste so good together I could just eat them without the pasta. Definitely a regular for my family! I also used Pam to cut back on the calories and tasted so good. All the same to me. - 6/4/09

     Thanks for the fresh idea for pasta. I couldn't "afford" that much fat, so wiped the pan with olive oil and then sizzled the vegetables in that. Then when we added the vegetables to the pasta, we added a scant 1 Tbsp of olive oil to set the parmesan. Next time, we'll add more carrot! - 7/30/09

     I love veggies with pasta. You could cut the saturated fat dramatically by using Wildtree Grapeseed Oil. Try the Roasted Garlic or Lemon Infused Grapeseed Oil. Check out the Grapeseed Oil facts http://www.wildtree.com/mywildtree/BinaryW
