Directions
Cook the pasta in water as directed. Rinse, drain, and set aside.

In a large skillet, saute the garlic, onion, carrots, celery,and peppers in the chicken broth, on medium heat, stirring often for about 5 minutes

Stir in the pine nuts, raisins with the salt and pepper. (I use freshly ground black pepper, so 1/4 tsp is just and estimate) Cook, stirring frequently, for about 5 minutes.

Add the Sherry and bring to a boil. Boil for 3 minutes.

Taste, and add more salt and pepper if desired.

Remove from heat.

Add the pasta and mix together well. Best if served immediately.

Cooking times are adjustable, depending on how crisp you want your vegetables. I like mine tender-crisp.
