Sautee'd Vegi's and Garlic Sauce Over Pasta

The other night I went out for dinner and ordered a pasta dish full of favor, tomatoes, lots of garlic and spinach.  I did not have any spinach so I substituted spinach for shaved Brussels sprouts.  You will love this if you are a garlic and tomato fan.  This would also taste great with broccoli or any vegi you may have on hand.

Ingredients
Olive oil 2 tbsp
one small onion chopped
Brussels sprouts sliced thinly and the rough ends removed
3 garlic cloves cut in big pieces or smashed
2 cans of diced tomatoes, I like the mild chili peppers variety.  Use your favorite.
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes or hot sauce
1/2 c red wine
2 cups of cooked pasta rinsed then sprinkled with olive oil


In a saute pan add olive oil and heat on medium heat
add the onion, vegi's and saute until the onion is translucent and the vegi's are slightly brown about 5 minutes.  Wait till last few minutes of cooking to add the garlic so it does not burn
salt & pepper to taste
add red pepper or hot sauce
add the wine and deglaze your pan of stuck on bits of vegi's
Stir in the tomatoes and let simmer while the pasta cooks
add 1/2 cup of pasta water to pan before draining the pasta

Top pasta with vegi sauce then top with Parmesan cheese, enjoy!
