- Bring a large pot of water to a boil; prepare pasta according to package directions. When done, drain and place in large serving bowl; keep hot if necessary.
- Meanwhile, heat oil in large nonstick frying pan over medium heat. Add in onion; saute/fry for 3 to 5 min, till translucent/soft. Add in garlic; saute/fry 2 min longer, being careful not to let mix brown. Add in salt and pepper to taste.
- Add in 1/2 c. wine; simmer 2 to 3 min. Add in remaining 1/2 c. wine; simmer 2 more min. Add in basil, broccoli, cauliflower, mushrooms, carrots and bell pepper; simmer for 10 min.
- Add in tomatoes and thyme, stirring gently. Bring to a slow boil. Reduce heat to low; simmer for 10 min.
- Add in sauce mix and pine nuts to pasta; stir to coat well. Stir in 1/2 c. grated cheese. Sprinkle additional cheese on top. Sprinkle with a little minced parsley, garnish with parsley sprigs and serve.
- Yields 4 to 6 servings.
- Comments: Glines suggests cutting only half the bell pepper into strips, then cutting the other half into a jack-o-lantern face to use as a Halloween or possibly fall garnish; cutting a green bell pepper half in a Christmas tree shape during the holidays; or possibly a red bell-pepper half into a heart for Valentine's Day.
