       Pasta With Fresh Vegetable Red Sauce
       This dish is a treat for those on a low-fat diet. It combines
       flavored linguine and vegetables with two pasta sauces.
       Ingredients:
       1-2 Tablespoons olive oil
       1 cup onion, chopped
       1 cup green bell pepper, chopped
       1/2 cup red bell pepper, chopped
       1/2 cup yellow bell pepper, chopped
       1 1/2 cups fresh mushroom slices
       2 teaspoons minced garlic
       1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
       1/2 to 1 teaspoon EACH salt and pepper (to taste)
       1 jar (26 oz)(Bertolli) Italian Sausage Pasta Sauce (or a
       meatless variety)
       1 jar (26 oz)(Bertolli) 5-Cheese Blend Pasta Sauce
       12 oz desired flavor of linguine (or spaghetti)1 to 2 cups
       shredded low-fat parmesan or mozzarella cheese
       Method
       In a large saucepan or Dutch oven heat the olive oil. Add
       onions, bell peppers, and mushrooms. Saute about 10-12 minutes,
       stirring occasionally. Stir in the garlic, tomatoes, salt and
       pepper. Stir in pasta sauces. Simmer on low about 20 minutes,
       stirring occasionally. Prepare pasta according to directions on
       package. Top pasta with sauce and shredded cheese.
       Notes: My husband is trying to do a low-fat, vegetarian diet, so
       I have been trying to take his favorite recipes and convert
       them. This is one of his favorites. It is very good with the
       flavored pastas. Today he had the garlic herb linguine. Next
       will be the roasted red pepper linguine. You can use this sauce
       with any pasta, even a meatless lasagne. True vegetarians may
       substitute a meatless pasta sauce instead of the Italian sausage
       variety.
       Number of servings: 6 servings
