Ingredients

Pasta

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup sliced red pepper
  • 1 cup sliced yellow pepper
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 cup chopped asparagus
  • 1/2 cup matchstick carrots
  • 1/2 cup sliced red onion
  • 6 small zucchini about 6-8 cups spiralized
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper

Sauce

  • 2 tablespoons salted butter
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • zest of 1 lemon
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream

Garnish

  • 1/4 cup chopped basil
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
  • fresh parsley to taste

Instructions

  1. In a small saucepan, melt the butter and add the minced garlic. Sauté until the garlic is fragrant, about 2 minutes.
  2. Add the chicken broth and lemon zest. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until the liquid has reduced by half. Remove from heat. 
  3. In a large skillet on medium heat, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add the sliced peppers, broccoli, asparagus, carrots, red onion, salt and pepper. Sauté 3-5 minutes or until al dente. Add the zucchini noodles and sauté 2-3 minutes more. Remove from heat.
  4. Temper the heavy cream by adding 1 teaspoon of the broth mixture at a time to the cream. Once the cream is warm, stir it into the sauce.
  5. Pour the sauce over the vegetables in the skillet and stir to coat.
  6. Garnish with fresh herbs and Parmesan cheese. Enjoy!
