- 1 yellow bell pepper chopped into ½-inch pieces
- 1 medium carrot diced

Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Once boiling, add the pasta and cook according to package directions for al dente. Drain the pasta (do not rinse).
- Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a Dutch oven or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the red onion, bell peppers, carrot, mushrooms and broccoli and sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring often, until vegetables are crisp-tender. (Turn the heat down to medium if the pan gets too hot.)
- Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. Then stir in the crushed tomatoes, Italian seasoning, dried oregano, salt and pepper. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5-10 minutes, until vegetables are tender.
- Stir the drained pasta and remaining tablespoon of olive oil into the sauce. Serve with Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh basil, if desired.
