Description

cook your pasta according to instructions. meanwhile, heat cream over medium-low heat. grate about 1/2 cup parmesan cheese into cream(more if you'd like, don't be shy!). add salt and pepper. stir often so it doesn't burn. when pasta is almost done and cream/cheese mixture has cooked down a bit, add tomatoes, peppers, and broccoli to cream sauce. cook for a few minutes until veggies soften a bit. drain pasta, mix cream/cheese/veggies mixture into pasta. season to taste with salt and pepper. serve.

also good with roughly torn fresh basil from your garden. yum!

the ingredients can vary on this, its just a "whats left in the fridge at the end of the month when the bank accounts not looking so great" recipe. not really healthy due to being a cream based sauce, but its got some veggies and the kids dig it. and, its actually really tasty.
