Easy Veggie-Goat Cheese Pasta

1 cup steamed/grilled/sautee'd veggies of your choice (in this case, I used grilled yellow summer squash and zucchini)
olive oil (1-2 tbsp)
minced garlic (1/2 -1 tsp)
dried minced onion (about 1/2-1 tsp)
dried basil (a couple dashes)
dried red pepper flakes (a couple dashes)
a pinch of kosher salt (if needed)
1/4 -1/2 cup diced tomato
1/2 cup crumbled fresh goat cheese
*optional: 1/2 cup tomato sauce with meat (beef and italian sausage)
Enough penne pasta for 2 people (about 1/2 box)

Heat olive oil in pan, then sautee' veggies, garlic, minced onion, basil, red pepper flakes, and a pinch of salt ( if needed). Stir in diced tomato and *optional tomato sauce with meat. You will need to increase/decrease diced tomatoes/tomato sauce with meat depending on your prefrence for sauce-to-pasta ratio. Boil enough pasta for 2 people (you will have to adjust recipe/other ingredients for more people). Add some salt to boiling pasta for flavor and to reduce stickiness. Drain and put hot-cooked pasta in with sauce, crumble on goat cheese and stir in. Serve with hot rolls or garlic toasts. Can also serve a salad to go along if you like. *Suggested wine: a semi-light Spanish red wine like Faustino VII Rioja. You can also try: Chianti, Zinfandel, Shiraz or Merlot. Light some candles and enjoy!
