Here’s our pictures from cooking this recipe
Cut up all of the fresh items and arrange for some realy good tasting but light pasta.
Cook the pasta according to the package directions, drain and return to pan. Coat pasta with 1 tablespon olive oil and cover to keep warm.
We like to use a wok for this recipe because it has more tossing room then a large skillet.
First, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in your wok or large skillet. Add the bell peppers, onions and mushrooms and saute for about 6 minutes.
You can see after only 6 minutes of cooking the veggies shrink down quite a bit.
Add the artichokes, Italian dressing, brats, and garlic. Continue cooking for about 4 minutes.
Add the pasta and mix well.
Add the tomatoes, cheese, and olives, and parsley. Mix well and heat through for 1 to 2 minutes.
You can see everything comes together well with lots of fresh veggies. If the mixture is to dry, add up to 2 more tablespoons of olive oil to moisten.
