Summer Vegetables With Linguine
"I'm not sure where I originally got this recipe. I've been making it for years and it is wonderful as a side to grilled chicken or salmon. It also makes a wonderful meatless main dish. I use the spinach and regular linguine mixed together. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do!"

What a nice pasta dish. I didn't have red bell pepper, so used green instead. Loved everything about it and can just imagine what other veggies would be good here. Thanks JillAZ for a nice keeper. Made for Zaar Chef Alphabet Soup Tag. -
Very good side dish with lots of great veggie flavor and color. -
Needed a quick recipe for dinner last night and decided to pick this one. On the way home I was able to buy the vegetables (including tomatoes, which I used instead of mushrooms) from the local farmer's market. This was a very fresh tasting, very light and very delicious meal! To make this even lighter I used less oil (1 1/2 teaspoons) and a non-stick pan. I used an all spinach linguine and orange pepper (as the tomatoes provided red) for a beautiful color. We finished this dish off with second helpings last night as a vegetarian main meal for two. Many thanks Jill for this terrific recipe.
