Pasta Primavera

A low-fat version of the Italian classic:

1/2 to 2/3 pound pasta (I like fusili--the spirals)

1 medium onion

1/2 pound mushrooms

4 or 5 cloves garlic

some dry sherry

1 tin skim evaporated milk (less than 3 g fat per tin)

1 red pepper

1 green pepper

1 teaspoon salt

black pepper

Chop the onion, garlic, and mushroom. Saute over high heat in enough

sherry to keep it wet for about 10 minutes. Put the pasta water on

to boil.

Reduce the heat under the veggies and add the tin of milk. Put the

pasta in the boiling water. Simmer the sauce over low heat while the

pasta cooks. Chop up the red and green peppers and add them to the

simmering sauce. Add salt & black pepper to taste. Let simmer for

about 5 minutes, which should be enough time to cook the pasta.

Drain the pasta, pour the sauce over the pasta, and serve. Sprinkle

with a bit of parmisan cheese or nutritional yeast, and more black

pepper, to taste.

Variations: obviously, you can vary the vegetable content.

Sun dried tomatoes are one of my favourite candidates.
