Instructions
- Bring a large pot filled halfway with water to boil on medium-high heat and season with 2 teaspoon of salt. Boil pasta according to package directions until al dente.
- Reserve ½ cup or 125 ml starchy pasta water before you strain the cooked pasta in a colander. Set pasta aside.
- Heat olive oil in a large pan on medium heat. Fry onions and garlic until softened, about 2-3 minutes. Toss in bell peppers and broccoli, cover and cook until broccoli turns vibrant green.
- Add marinara sauce, cream cheese and reserved pasta water. Use a spatula to break down the cream cheese until there are no lumps and mix everything together until well combined.
- Bring sauce to a boil for 3-4 minutes to thicken. Toss in cooked pasta along with fresh basil.
- Remove off heat. Season with pasta salt and pepper to taste and garnish with more fresh basil.
