Sautéed Vegetables

In a small sauté pan, heat the oil over medium heat.  Add the garlic and cook until golden.

Add the onions and peppers and cook until very soft, about 10 minutes.

Toss in the broccoli rabe and cook just until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.  Season with the thyme, oregano, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper.

Pasta Salad

Place the farfalle in a large mixing bowl.

Add the remaining ingredients and only the julienned basil.  Toss gently to coat.

Season with salt and pepper to taste and toss gently to coat.
