1 teaspoon Freshly-cracked black pepper
2 teaspoons Salt
1 small Turnip; peeled
1 medium Carrot; peeled

1 Yellow crookneck squash; with skin
¼ pounds Chinese snow peas

1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
½ cup Water -; (to 3/4 cup)
1 cup Freshly-grated Parmesan cheese
1 pounds Vermicelli
Grated Parmesan cheese; for garnish
Chopped fresh chives; for garnish

Directions

Clean all vegetables and slice into fine julienne, 1/16-inch by 3 inches.

Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook mushrooms until slightly colored. Add garlic, cook briefly, and reduce heat to moderate. Add leeks with cracked pepper and cook about a minute. Then add salt, turnip, carrot, zucchini, yellow squash, and snow peas. Cook until vegetables soften, about 3 minutes. Add tomatoes, tomato juice, lemon juice, and water. Bring to a boil and whisk in remaining tablespoon butter.

Remove from heat and stir in Parmesan cheese. Meanwhile, bring a large stockpot of salted water to a boil. Cook vermicelli until al dente. Try to time it so that pasta is done just when vegetables are cooked. Drain, transfer to vegetable mixture, and toss to combine. Ladle into bowls and garnish with grated Parmesan and chives. Serve immediately. This recipe yields 6 servings.
