The nice thing about this dinner is how versatile it is. You can use any vegetables you have in the refrigerator. In this case I used onions, mushrooms, sweet peppers, and snow peas. You can also use any pasta that you have on hand. I always like to keep a package of rice noodles in the cupboard because they only take minutes to prepare.
This is one of my families favorite meals. I often plan it on the weekly menu for Meatless Monday but they never complain if I am running on empty and make it because it's quick, easy and I didn't plan anything else. I hope your family enjoys it as well.
