30-Minute Creamy Veggie Pasta
Description
The recipe starts by dicing red bell pepper and onion into cubes and slicing mushrooms, which are sautéed in butter until soft. The bell peppers and onions are then cooked until tender before partially cooked pasta is added to the skillet with the vegetables.
Heavy whipping cream, pressed garlic, and broccoli are added next, cooking together to create a creamy sauce that coats the pasta and vegetables. Parmesan cheese is folded in last, adding a salty, nutty richness to the dish. The pasta finishes cooking in the sauce, absorbing flavors and liquids evenly.
This pasta can be served immediately for a comforting meal that blends vegetable freshness with a creamy, rich sauce. The use of garlic parsley salt helps season the dish, balancing the creaminess and adding herbal notes.
