How hot is it ..... ?

..... it is 91 degrees, with a heat index of 99 and it isn't even officially summer yet! No way no how am I turning on an oven. So I made a simple pasta dish with sauteed veggies, quick and easy and no oven involved!

Penne Pasta

1/4 cup olive oil
3 cloves of garlic, minced
3 cups of chopped/sliced veggies
(I used a handful of green beans, baby carrots, baby zucchini and grape tomatoes)
1 Tsp. dried mexican oregano
1 Tsp. dried basil
1/4 cup crumbled Gorgonzola
Salt & Pepper, to taste
1/2 cup white cooking wine
1 pound penne pasta

Bring large pot of water to a boil and cook pasta. While waiting for water to boil, saute garlic and carrots in olive oil over medium heat for about 4 minutes. Add green beans and zucchini and cook an additional 3 minutes. Add tomatoes (cut in half) and sprinkle with salt, pepper, oregano and basil. Add white wine and let simmer for about 2-3 minutes, or until veggies are just tender. I like mine to have a little crispness to them.

Serve over pasta, sprinkle with cheese.
