Here is how you make leftover vegetables pasta:

Get any of the vegetables that are about to go bad from your fridge. Slice up all the vegetables into bite-sized pieces. Put the olive oil in a skillet and add the carrots, if you're using them. Let them cook over medium heat until they turn a brighter color orange. Then add all the other vegetables. Cover and let cook for the remainder of the 30 min.In a separate pot, cook the pasta. Then strain the pasta.When the pasta and vegetables are done (hopefully at the same time!), put them all into the same bowl and mix together. Don't worry if there's a lot of water from the vegetables--it will turn into kind of a sauce when you add the cheese.Add the cheese! It seems like a small amount of cheese, but it will mix through the pasta and make little stringy saucy tastiness.Note on the nutritional info: depending on what is around the house, you may have different amounts of vegetables, so they're not included in the calculation.Makes two 1/2-cup servings. If you find yourself with a plethora of vegetables, feel free to add more pasta to the mix.Number of Servings: 2Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user RUTHKB2.
