pasta with vegetables and parmesan

this is a quick fix. 
a dinner on  a dime and no time. 
pasta with vegetables might sound boring but actually it can be very very tasty, depending on the spices you are using. and not only this you can use all your favorite veggies for this dish.
it's healthy, fast and simple. bon appetite!

cut an onion in small pieces, saute it in olive oil and keep adding the veggies you like, for example, carrots, broccoli, peppers, all cut in small chunks. let them simmer in vegetable broth or stock or you might use white wine instead, add salt, pepper and if you like some curry. if you use white wine you can add some heavy cream to smooth the 'broth'. let the veggies simmer on the lowest setting while you cook the pasta.
bring water to a boil in an extra pot and cook the pasta of your choice. see package description for cooking time, it's normally around 10 to 12 minutes so they keep al dente
drain the pasta, once cooked, put them in a soup bowl, add the vegetables with broth and add either parsley or chives. 
you can also grain parmesan cheese on top of the dish. very yummy
