Instructions
- Cook the pasta according to package instructions. Before draining the pasta reserve 1 cup of the pasta water.
- Add the olive oil to a large skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot swirl to coat the bottom and then add in the shallots, carrots, and asparagus. Sauté for 2 minutes and then add in the zucchini, yellow squash, and cherry tomatoes.
- Season the vegetables with salt and pepper and sprinkle in the Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes. Stir everything together.
- Add the pasta into the skillet along with 1/4 cup of the pasta water, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Stir together and then add in the peas, and the parmesan cheese.
- Turn the heat down to low and continue to stir until the parmesan cheese is incorporated into the sauce. If the pasta looks dry or like there isn't enough sauce, add in additional pasta water until your desired consistency is reached.
- Taste for seasoning and garnish the pasta with fresh basil and extra parmesan cheese.
