 Frozen peas1 Cup (16 tbs)
 Broccoli1 Cup (16 tbs), chopped
 1/2 pound fettuccine or other broad noodles
 Scallions1 Bunch (100gm)
 Butter3 Tablespoon
 3 tablespoons olive or other vegetable oil
 5 cloves garlic, minced or crushed through a press
 Salt3/4 Teaspoon
 Pepper1/2 Teaspoon
 Sour cream1 1/4 Cup (16 tbs)

Directions

1 Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
2 Meanwhile, thaw the spinach, peas and broccoli in the microwave (one at a time). Set the broccoli and spinach aside on papers towels to drain as much excess moisture as possible. If the spinach is still watery, squeeze it between several layers of paper towels.
3 Add the pasta to the boiling water and cook until al dente, 10 to 12 minutes, or according to package directions.
4 Meanwhile, coarsely chop the scallions. In a large skillet, warm the butter in the oil over medium heat until the butter is melted. Add the scallions and garlic and saute until the scallions are limp, about 5 minutes.
5 Increase the heat to medium-high and add the spinach, peas, broccoli, salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until the vegetables are heated through, about 5 minutes.
6 Stir in the sour cream and remove from the heat.
7 Drain the pasta and toss it with the vegetables and Parmesan.
