Ingredients

  • 2 table spoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 2 carrots
  • 1 red bell pepper
  • 2 tomatoes
  • 1 green onion bunch
  • 1.5 cups dry penne pasta
  • 3/4 vegetable stock
  • 1 tablespoon tomatoe paste or ketchup if you dont have it
  • 3-5table spoons whipping cream
  • 1/2 cup parma cheese
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • salt to taste

Directions

  1. cook pasta follow box directions (usually 8-11min)
  2. chop carrots,pepper, and green onions to bite size portions
  3. dice garlic
  4. cook garlic in oil for 1 min
  5. add carrots and 1/4 cup veggie stock
  6. when carrots are tender about 4min add bell pepper and tomatoes and 1/4 veggie stock
  7. YOUR PASTA MIGHT BE DONE BY NOW drain it. keep it al dente baby!
  8. ok tricky part...add rest of stock, onions, pepper spice. incorporate tomato paste and cream. mix it so its looking like a sauce and thickening up. add some cheese and stir. if you add all the cheese at once you'll get clumps. this process takes 3-4 min. dont worry this is dummy proof if you cook it longer the veggies get a little too overcooked
  9. and the sauce a little too thick. don't worry if the sauce gets too thick add more stock.
  10. combine pasta
  11. salt to taste and serve
