Zucchini Mushroom pasta

Ah, life in unemployed land, living in a friend's basement. Here is today's creation. I have reached the point where I leap into action at 4 p.m., knowing my housemate will come home soon. This was quite yummy.

Vegetables

 1 1/2 small zucchini, cut in quarters, lengthwise

1/4 red bell pepper, cut in strips

1 handful forest mushrooms, sliced

garlic

basil to taste

Saute in olive oil until cooked but still crispy

Cooked pasta

Cream sauce

1/4 cup ground walnuts

3 cloves roasted garlic

3/4 carton whipped cream cheese

basil

black pepper

blend in food processor, in order listed above. Transfer 1/2 to small skillet and heat slowly with 1/4 cup olive oil and 1/2 cup milk. Heat and stir until well blended and creamy. 

In a big bowl, combine pasta, vegetables and cream sauce. Toss. YUM.
