📝 Preparation Steps

Cook Pasta

dry pasta (such as spaghetti)16 oz

Bring a large pot of generously salted water to boil. Cook pasta according to package instructions, just to al dente; do not overcook. When pasta is done, reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta water and set it aside. Return drained pasta to pot and drizzle cooked/drained with enough oil to prevent sticking; cover to keep warm.

Cook Veggies

While pasta is cooking: heat olive oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and stir ⏱️ 2-3 min. or until softened. Add garlic, stirring ⏱️ 1 minute. Add broccoli and carrots, stirring ⏱️ 2-3 min. Add bell pepper and cook another ⏱️ 2 min. Add the squash/zucchini, tomatoes, and mushrooms, stirring ⏱️ 2-3 minutes or just until all veggies are softened to your preference.

Combine

Pour veggie mixture over cooked pasta in pot. Gently toss to combine; add some of the reserved pasta water if needed. Add additional kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste (I add about 1/4 tsp here.) Serve immediately with freshly grated parmesan and fresh basil.
