From: Dreamfields Healthy Carb Pasta

Primavera means "spring" in Italian. Fresh vegetables are a mark 
of the spring harvest. The lightness of the sauteed vegetables 
are a nice contrast to the warmth of the spring.

Preparation Time: 10 min
Cook Time: 20 min
Yield: Makes 6 main dish servings

1 box Dreamfields Spaghetti (see note)
2 Tbsp olive oil
2 small zucchini, shredded
2 medium carrots, peeled and shredded
1 large red bell pepper, cut into small thin strips
2 shallots, minced
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Cook pasta according to package directions.

Meanwhile, heat oil in medium skillet over medium heat.
Cook zucchini, carrots, bell pepper, and shallots
5 minutes, or until tender, stirring frequently.

Drain pasta. Add to skillet; toss with vegetable mixture,
adding half of the cheese while tossing. Season with
salt and pepper to taste. Serve with remaining cheese.
