New year new recipes :0

So I have been neglecting my family blog because lets face it, I have been a busy bee :) From work to my second job better known as my passion for photography, and a little room for school, I have little time to update my blog. When I first started my blog it would consist of mainly recipes, but as I began my new hobby, my recipes declined. So I would need some reminders here and their to post a recipe ( Thanks Audrey for keeping me on my recipe toes) :) So here is a new low calorie recipe that I will share with you. It is beyond delicios and I loe it!! has all my favorites!!!

What you need:
1 cup zuchini cut into moons
1 cup julienned carrots
1 cup julienned red peppers
3 tomatoes
1/2 cup of shredded mozarella
2 1/2 cups of stuffed rigatoni ( you can find this item at any local grocery in the frozen section)*** you may also use your favorite stuffed ravaolis
1 tea spoon of dried rosemarry
1 tea spoon of chopped garlic
1/2 cup chopped basil
1/2 tea spoon of salt

* what you need to know:
roast peppers over a grill or if you want to cut your time in 1/2 put them in the oven and cook under the broil setting.
** So you are probably wondering what the heck are Jullened carrots and red pepppers. Julienned is just another way to cut your veggies, I think it adds sophistication to a meal. To achive this Juliened cut click here: http://www.ehow.com/video_2346576_julienne-carrots.html

** after you have roasted your tomatoes and have let them cool, Peel under cool water and place inside a blender. Add the rosemarry, and salt, with 1/2 cup of water. Puree for 2 minutes.

In a pan add 1 table spoon of olive oil, and add the chopped garlic, julienned carrots and red peppers cook for about 3 minutes add the tomatoe puree and chopped basil,simmer for 5 minutes. ( you may add salt for taste)

In the mean while cook the stuffed rigatoni in boiling water. Cook the rigatoni according to the package usually 7 minutes.

Once the rigatoni is cooked, draine, and add to the tomatoe sauce. Once served sprinkle mozarella cheese on top.

pss I love to make this with some grilled chicken to help please those who have a bigger appetite :0

Enjoy
