While pasta noodles are cooking, chop up your vegetables. Start with zucchini as it will take a bit longer to cook.
Coat the pan with 1 tbsp of butter. Then, add zucchini. Continue to chop your peppers and onions. Toss into pan with zucchini.
Next, season the vegetables with garlic/garlic salt, salt, and pepper.
Add in tomatoes. Stir vegetables occasionally to evenly coat and evenly season.
Add more butter.
Drain pasta noodles and add to skillet with vegetables.
