Naturally lean vegetables get a big fat-free flavor boost from balsamic vinegar.

1. In a large nonstick skillet over med-high heat, cook vinegar and garlic for 3 minutes. Add onions, eggplant, squash, and peppers. Cook for 5 minutes. Add tomatoes and parsley. Cook, stirring frequently, for 15 minutes. Stir in oil, Parmesan, salt, and thyme. Cook for 5 minutes or until sauce thickens.

2. Cook pasta in a large pot of boiling water per package directions. Drain and return to pot. Add sauce mixture and toss well.

For a more assertive flavor, substitute chopped fresh basil for the parsley.
