½ cup shredded carrots
½ cup corn (frozen works best)
½ cup lima beans (again frozen)
Olive oil
Parmesan cheese (sprinkled)

Garlic Bread
6 inch wheat roll
Spray butter
Sprinkle of Garlic powder
Sprinkle of Season salt

Steps:
1)Boil water
2)Add pasta and cook until tender
3)Warm up corn and lima beans in a with water on stove
4)Heat broccoli and carrots in pan on stove with a little bit of water
5)Drain pasta and put on plates. Add veggies, olive oil, cheese
6)Toast bread. Add butter, garlic powder, season salt

This is my own recipe that I love and probably make variations of it too often. Check out the links for more ideas:
