Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 20 minutes

Total Time: 35 minutes

Servings: 4

Skill Level: Easy

Ingredients

• 12 oz (340 g) pasta (penne or fusilli recommended)
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1 cup zucchini, diced
• 1 cup bell peppers, sliced
• 1 cup broccoli florets
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 4 cups vegetable broth
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Optional: red pepper flakes for garnish

Instructions

1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
2. Add the garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
3. Add the cherry tomatoes, zucchini, bell peppers, and broccoli. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften.
4. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a boil.
5. Add the pasta and cook according to the package instructions, usually about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure the pasta does not stick to the pot.
6. Once the pasta is al dente and most of the liquid is absorbed, reduce the heat to low.
7. Stir in the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens.
8. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
9. Fold in the fresh basil leaves just before serving.
10. Garnish with red pepper flakes if desired and serve warm.

Helpful Tips:

• For a vegan version, substitute heavy cream with coconut milk and use vegan Parmesan cheese.
• Add a sprinkle of lemon zest before serving to add a refreshing citrus note.
• Feel free to swap out vegetables based on what’s in season or your family’s preferences.
• If the sauce becomes too thick, add a splash of vegetable broth to reach the desired consistency.

Storage Instructions:

• Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave, adding a little water or broth if needed to loosen the sauce.

Pairings

To make this meal even more delightful, pair it with a fresh green salad and a light, sparkling beverage like lemonade or a fizzy water with a splash of lime. The vibrant flavors and textures will complement each other perfectly.
