Cook linguini noodles to al-dente.
Saute onions, green peppers, mushrooms, and garlic in olive oil and butter.

Cover with aluminum foil.Set dish on baking pan as not to spill over into oven. (be careful not to fill all the way to top, or cheese will stick to foil.)

Allow to cool down some, and for flavors to meld. Cut and serve with Parmesan cheese on top.
