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

  • In a small saucepan, melt the butter and add the minced garlic. Sauté until the garlic is fragrant, about 2 minutes.
  • 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. 
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Pour the sauce over the vegetables in the skillet and stir to coat.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs and Parmesan cheese. Enjoy!
