Prepare macaroni accordingly to package directions – then drain in strainer.
In large skillet melt 2 tablespoons margarine. Add bouillon and garlic and remaining margarine, add rest of seasoning, bell pepper, onion, carrots and broccoli. Do not add peas yet!
Stir-fry one minute. Cover and cook on low heat until vegetables are just tender. Stir in macaroni and peas. Stir gently so as not to smash peas.
