I started off by chopping up a white onion, a small red bell pepper, almost half of an organic zucchini, and a third of an Anaheim chili pepper.
I put those in to saute in a bit of canola oil and cracked black pepper.
As the veggies cooked I diced up four biggish organic mushrooms and tossed them in the frying pan as well.Then I added half a can of these white kidney beans and just smidge of the liquid from inside the can.As all that simmered I got out my Tuscan herb blend that I buy from a local to me small business called Just Herbs, my pasta, and my olive oil.
When my lightly salted water began to boil I tossed in the pasta.
As the veggies continued to simmer and my pasta boiled I made my sauce.
I poured about half a cup of olive oil in my mixing bowl, the juice of one lemon (no seeds!), a table spoon and a half cracked black pepper, and two finely diced green onions. I mixed it all around together and waited for my pasta to get done.

I grated some Parmesan before I plated everything and I sprinkled it on top just before serving. And my finished dish looked like this:
Sometimes I'll toss in precooked salmon, walnuts, and or pine nuts. If I have them sometimes I'll top mine with a diced Serrano chili pepper or a jalapeno that has been de-seeded and de-ribbed.
I cook with very little salt so you may want to add salt to whatever recipe of mine you may want to try. Also, monkey around, pun intended, with whatever recipe I toss up here, that's how new recipes are made. If you make something new and wonderful, then let me know.

the distributorcap kitchen is open for your pleasure
since you've wrangled my real name and actual address out of me, the least you could do is make this, freeze some, pack it in dry ice and overnight to me.
really- must i beg????
p.s. much less expensive than travelling to d-cap's (newly redone and very nice) kitchen. although hangin' with him is worth the price, i must admit!
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!!!!!!!
Good for you for taking it easy on the salt. Salt will be the next pariah, taking over from fat.
That looks wonderful!
I love food blogging.
I think I will mail myself there and eat your food while you're marching for peace.
