Pasta dish features fresh summer veggies

Gather the best summer vegetables for this tasty penne pasta dish. The sauce is filled with eggplant, zucchini, bell peppers and ripe tomatoes and finished with a little cream. If you can't find really fresh, ripe tomatoes, use good-quality canned plum tomatoes.

Helpful Hints:

_ Any type of short cut pastas such as fusilli, elbows and rigatoni can be used instead of penne.

_ All green or all red bell pepper can be used instead of using both.

_ 5 garlic cloves can be used instead of minced garlic.

Countdown:

_ Prepare all ingredients.

_ Put water for pasta on to boil.

_ Make sauce.

Shopping List:

To buy: 1 small eggplant, 1 small zucchini, 1 small red bell pepper, 1 small green bell pepper, 1 small jar minced garlic, 8 plum tomatoes, 1 container heavy cream, 1 package penne pasta, 1 small bunch fresh basil, 1 small package broken walnuts and 1 small piece Parmesan cheese.
