Ingredients

Scale
  • 16 thin stalks fresh asparagus
  • 1 yellow pepper
  • 1 red pepper
  • 1 yellow squash
  • 1 green squash
  • ½ pound snow peas
  • 8 ounces rotini
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
  • 1/4 cup white wine
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 small tomatoes, seeded and chopped
  • 1 tablespoon butter

Instructions

  1. Rinse asparagus, and then cut off and discard the bottom of the asparagus. Cut asparagus into 1- to 1 1/2 -inch chunks. Set these aside and chop squash, peppers and snow peas into 1-inch squares.
  2. Cook pasta following the package directions. While the pasta is cooking, heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and pepper, cooking and stirring for about 30 seconds.

  4. Remove from heat, add butter and stir.
  5. Drain pasta and add it, along with basil, to vegetables in skillet. Toss gently to combine.
