A delightful dish featuring tender pasta and a medley of fresh vegetables in a creamy sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz Pasta (fusilli or penne)
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil
  • 3 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1 each Bell peppers (red and yellow), diced
  • 1 medium Zucchini, sliced
  • 1 cup Broccoli florets
  • 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cup Heavy cream
  • 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh basil, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add your pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, saving a little pasta water for later.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Toss in the diced bell peppers and zucchini. Cook for 4-5 minutes until they start to soften, then add the broccoli and halved cherry tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper and sauté for another 3-4 minutes until the veggies are tender yet crisp.
  3. Reduce the heat to low and pour the heavy cream into the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Stir well and allow it to simmer for a couple of minutes. Gradually add the grated Parmesan cheese, stirring until the cheese is melted and the sauce is creamy. If the sauce is too thick, you can add a splash of reserved pasta water to reach your desired consistency.
  4. Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing everything together to ensure each piece of pasta is coated in that luscious cream sauce. Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
  5. Plate up the creamy pasta primavera into bowls, garnishing with fresh basil if desired. Enjoy your comforting dish while it’s warm, and relish the flavors.

Notes

Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat on low heat, adding a splash of cream or water.
