Pasta with Veggie Garlic Butter Sauce

This is more of a method than a recipe. I make pasta with garlic butter sauce for myself ALL the time. I used to eat it sprinkled with parmesan cheese. You wouldn't think this would add so much to it, but I find without the parmesan cheese it's really boring. So I've been adding veggies to the mix. Here's what I made tonight.

Ingredients:
2 oz pasta of your choice
1 T butter (I used Bestlife Buttery Spread)
1-2 cloves of garlic, chopped
onion powder
Sliced/chopped veggies of your choice (Tonight I used zucchini and mushrooms, about 2 oz each)

Directions:
Cook pasta according to package directions.
Meanwhile, saute veggies in a small skillet sprayed with non-stick spray. Sprinkle with onion powder.
Remove veggies from pan and reduce heat. When cooled, saute garlic in butter.
Drain pasta. Just before serving, add veggies back to skillet just to warm through. Pour veggie/butter sauce over pasta.
Serves 1.
