Steps:
- In a large nonstick frying pan put the olive oil, garlic and red chili flakes (optional). Heat over high heat until the edges of the garlic start to brown.
- Add the carrots, yellow squash and zucchini and stir to blend.
- Add the Italian seasoning and stir again.
- Flip the vegetables over occasionally using a spachula. Some of the vegetables should get brown spots on them, but the vegetables taste best if there is still a slight crispness to them.
- When the vegetables are ready, add salt.
- Turn off heat.
- If desired, stir in a deseeded and diced roma (plum) tomato at this time-optional.
- I have had similar recipes at Italian restaurants, so I eventually made up my own recipe to go with my meals at home.
NORTHERN ITALIAN VEGETABLE MEDLEY
I love Northern Italian food. It's just filled with good vegetables and good flavor. I love to make this in the summer when these vegetables are in season. The recipe says you can shake a little Parmesan over top, I prefer to use shredded fresh Parmesan. I serve this with a roasted whole chicken, Cornish hen, or pheasant. Serve...

Steps:
- 1. In a steamer, place the sliced carrots, the whole new potatoes, and broccoli florets. Place a lid on top and allow vegetables to steam until done to your liking. (I don't let them steam too long since I like my vegetables crunchy. Remember, you're going to add them to the skillet and cook them a little further.)
- 2. In a large skillet, pour the olive oil. Add all the seasonings, and sauté the zucchini and mushrooms for about 7-10 minutes.
- 3. When done, add all the steamed vegetables to the skillet, toss well to coat with the olive oil and seasonings. Heat thoroughly and serve.
- 4. (Can be served with a couple of shakes of Parmesan cheese on top, if desired)
Tips:
- To save time, use pre-cut vegetables or frozen vegetables.
- If you don't have vegetable broth, you can use water instead.
- Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little bit of heat.
- If you want a thicker sauce, add more cornstarch or flour.
- Serve the vegetable medley over rice, pasta, or quinoa.
