Cheating Lunch

I didn't have much time for lunch, nor much inclination to cook....I threw this together and it worked!

Sauteed onions, carrots, brussel sprouts (quartered) with some olive oil and a healthy dose of curry.
Throw in a good 1/2 cup of white wine. Take a few sips for the cook's health ;)
Let simmer covered while boiling up some whole wheat pasta.
Add red peppers and tomatoes to the veggies, stir around. Season with a dash of soy sauce (low sodium, please) and some more curry to taste, maybe some more white wine? What do you think?
Drain the pasta, add to the veggies, and stir.
Here comes the weird part: stir in about 3 Tb of canned pumpkin. Makes a nice sauce and adds some richness to the dish.
Sprinkle with some grated asiago.

ODDEST combination of things. BUT the curry, pumpkin, and brussels sprouts are earthy, and the asiago is this neat contrast of flavor, but still possess this earthiness that is delicious. And then the peppers and tomatoes add this little pop of brightness...Try it, see what you think. ;) Jacob and I loved it.

Enjoy dinner!
