Vegetable to go with pasta?
FERRANTE
a vegetable to go with it. I have no idea of which one would
compliment such a dish. I would appreciate any suggestions you can
offer.
Thanks,

I would like mild tasting green vegetables like French beans, Lima beans
or possibly small peas with that. I also like asparagus with plain lemon
and a sprinkling of parmesan (but I like asparagus with practically
everything!)

I vote for asparagus, too. By the way, James, though I prefer it fresh,
there is a new "steamer bag" of mixed vegetables that has nice chunks of
asparagus in it, I used it for stir fry last night. I forget the brand, but
it has some yellow squash, french green beans and bits of pepper, too.
Pretty good.

Thanks, that sounds interesting and I'll have to look for it unless it
includes broccoli :-)

I have been using some of the "steamer bags" of veggies. I usually use
fresh veggies, but these steamer bags are as close to fresh as I have seen.
There are a large variety of veggies available that way, and most are
"plain" veggies without seasoning (those are the ones I buy). They are
expensive, but I get several meals out of one bag because I am only cooking
for one. I have both Birds Eye and Steam Select brands in the freezer. I
have grown especially fond of shelled edamame (soybeans) from Steam Select,
and that is something that I never see in the fresh produce.

I'd make a nice antipasto salad, quick and easy. I like lettuce, cherry
tomatoes, artichoke hearts, black olives, pepproncini, fresh mozzarella
balls (ovellini), salami and parmesan. A balsamic vinaigrette is the best
dressing.

Sounds great -- good tasting *and* healthy (as long as the high-fat items
are limited). What a nice combo!

Grilled Zucchini, Red Onion & Japanese eggplant. lightly dressed with
balsamic.
To hold the onion slices together insert a toothpick or a trussing needle.

Goomba
compete with the marsala. I'd let that be the shining star and have
simple, elegant veggies to go with it. Haricot vertes perhaps?

We did it 2 years ago for mother's day. Big hit. I just went real easy on
the dressing. I like a touch of dressing, I cannot stand it swimming in it.

I saw the asparagus mixture today, made by BirdsEye. There are a number
of other blends some of which do include broccoli. I haven't tried any
of them yet.

The BirdsEye one has a pretty fresh flavor. I think it's a little expensive
for the amount you get, but it's worth it to have what I like on hand.

I love sugar snaps. Wish my husband did.
