A Heart-Healthy Pasta Recipe

• 1 pound Jerusalem artichoke or whole-wheat linguine or angel hair pasta
• 2 cups fresh broccoli florets
• 1 cup fresh asparagus spears, chopped

Steam the broccoli and asparagus for 2 to 3 minutes in a vegetable steamer. In a large skillet, gently sauté the onion and garlic in the olive oil, then add the zucchini, carrot, and tomatoes and sauté for 5 minutes.

Gently toss with Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley.
