Fettuccine with Sauteed Vegetables

This recipe is packed full of vegetables!  Kids love it!  Insert sarcasm here....  To be honest, my kids love all of the vegetables that are in this dish except for the carrots and artichoke hearts.  That means more artichoke hearts for me!  I may have an issue with artichoke hearts.  I love Pasta House salads and I especially love going with my mom because she can't stand artichoke hearts which means she gives them to me!  My kids love raw carrots but once they are in any way heated through they are a no go.

This recipe came from Robin Millers Quick Fix Meals.  I have a confession to make.  I have tried so many of her recipes from this book and I'm just not digging it.  It's going to have to go in the Amazon seller pile.  Do any of you agree?
