Share:
Ingredients
- 12 ounces medium pasta cooked
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 cup sliced zucchini
- ½ cup chopped asparagus trimmed and cut into thirds
- ½ cup Diced bell pepper red, yellow or orange
- ⅔ cup grape tomatoes or cherry tomatoes
- ½ cup petite peas
- ½ cup Snow peas
Sauce
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 ½ tablespoons cornstarch
- ½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Cook pasta al dente according to package directions and set aside.
- In a large skillet add butter and melt over medium heat. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about one minute.
- Add zucchini, asparagus, peppers and cook 1 minute more. Add broth, bring to a simmer and let cook 2-3 minutes or until vegetables are tender-crisp.
- Stir in heavy cream, peas and tomatoes and simmer an additional 2-3 minutes.
- Make a slurry by combining cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of broth or water. Whisk the cornstarch into the pan until the sauce thickens.
- Stir in parmesan and pasta. Season with salt & pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat on the stovetop with a little milk to thin out the sauce.
