Confetti Alfredo

In my house we are eating less meat. I am coming about this for a lot of reasons but I think that overall we will be much healthier so I am working at coming to terms with no meat dinner. Last night was pasta night and the only way I feel good about nixing meat is to replace it with lots of veggies. I was running low on most veg but there was still a little left in the fridge to use. I didn't even miss the chunks of chicken. But I loved this because it had lots of colors from the different veggies

1/2 red onion

7 cloves of garlic(or as much as you can stand)

mushrooms

2 whole carrots

1/3 of a red bell pepper

spinach cut up

Saute all the ingredients waiting to add the spinach with the sauce

Then add one can of evaporated milk could use cream but saves lots of fat calories

1 tsp of chicken bullion (or to taste)

1/4 to 1/2 c parmesan cheese

Let simmer for a bit and then I stir my cooked pasta into the sauce or serve separately.

Thanks to Mom for encouraging me to use lots of fresh garlic in my alfredo sauce and I got a new garlic press. I don't think I will be buying the bottled stuff again for a while. Convenient yes but the flavor not so good.
