1 small carrot -- cut in matchstick pieces
3/4 cup frozen green beans -- thawed

2 tablespoons fat-free Parmesan cheese

Recipe

Prepare pasta and drain. Over high heat in 1" of boiling water heat broccoli pieces to boiling and simmer 2 - 3 minutes or until tender-crisp; drain. In a skillet over medium heat cook the mushrooms, onions, garlic, zucchini and carrots in hot oil until tender and golden crisp. Add the pepper strips and green beans; cook until tender.

Mix the half and half, bouillon, and cornstarch with a fork; then stir into the vegetable mixture. Cook over medium heat to boiling; boil 1 minute. Add the diced tomato, Parmesan cheese, parsley, broccoli, and pasta; tossing to coat well. Heat through and sprinkle with red pepper flakes before serving.
