📝 Preparation Steps
1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil; add in the pasta. Cook al dente according to package directions, stirring occasionally. Drain well. Pour the pasta back into the pot. (Drizzle with a tiny bit of olive oil and toss to prevent sticking.)
2
In the meantime, melt butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add carrot, bell pepper, broccoli, and asparagus; sauté, stirring occasionally, until slightly charred and crisp tender, about 3 to ⏱️ 4 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper and the crushed red pepper flakes. Stir in the ginger, garlic, and scallions; sauté until fragrant, about ⏱️ 30 seconds. Transfer mixture to a bowl, loosely tent with foil to keep warm; set aside.
