Pasta Supreme
By Mary McDougall
Many people associate pasta with red sauce, but there are many creative sauces that are made with ingredients other than tomatoes. This is another recipe that is a favorite with all of our family. The sauce is served at room temperature and poured over the hot pasta. This dish is also wonderful as a cold pasta salad for lunch the next day.

1
Place broth, walnuts, parsley, cilantro, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper into a blender jar. Process until smooth. Set aside. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for about 6 minutes. Add broccoli and bell peppers and cook until vegetables and pasta are tender, another 4-6 minutes. Remove from heat, let rest for 1 minute. Drain and place in a large bowl. Pour sauce over and toss well to mix.
Hint: This recipe may easily be varied by changing the vegetables and pasta used. I usually use a spiral vegetable pasta in this recipe.
