This is one of my dad’s wonderful original recipes!  This recipe is easy and delicious. Always remember to pick out the freshest veggies at the store when choosing what to put in this dish.  If you can pick them directly from you own garden, that’s even better.

Use any vegetables you like, but consider the following:
All colors of bell peppers
Anaheim chilies
Japanese eggplant
Zucchini squash
Tomatoes
Bermuda onion
Mushrooms

Directions:
1. Grill the vegetables on your bbq or on a stovetop griddle pan.

2. When done, cut them up into bite size pieces.

3. Cook up some bow tie pasta, (about ¼ lb. /person) al dente.

4. In a sauce pan, heat up about 1 cup (for 4 people) of good quality Olive Oil. Add in 4 finely chopped garlic cloves.

5. Mix the vegetables with the pasta and add the garlic infused Olive oil and add salt and Chili Flakes to taste.  Be careful with the chili flakes if you are adding any bbqed chili peppers to the dish.

6. Add grated Parmesan cheese to taste.

Serve, and enjoy the praise of your friends and loved ones as they call you a genius at cooking.  ~ Len (my dad)
