Ingredients:
Vegetables
- 3 tbsp. l. olive oil
- 2 large carrots, peeled and sliced diagonally
- 1 cup bite-sized broccoli pieces
- 1 red bell pepper, seeded and cut into strips
- 2 tbsp (30 g) butter
- 110 g of champignons, washed and sliced
- 2 medium zucchinis, sliced diagonally
- 1 medium zucchini, sliced diagonally
Sauce
- 4 cloves garlic, crushed
- Half a large onion, diced
- 0.5 cup chicken broth + more as needed
- 1/4 cup white wine (see note)
- 0.5 cup cream of any fat content
- 0.5 cup grated Parmesan + extra for serving
- 0.5 cup frozen peas
- 12 fresh basil leaves, chopped + extra for serving
- 450 g fettuccine pasta, cooked according to package directions
Preparation:
- Vegetables: Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the carrots and cook for 1 minute. Then add the broccoli and cook for another minute. Add the bell pepper and cook for another minute. Remove the vegetables from the skillet.
- Add the butter and the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil to the skillet and heat. Add the mushrooms, zucchini, and squash and cook until the vegetables begin to soften, 2-3 minutes. Transfer the vegetables to the bowl with the previous batch.
- Sauce: Add the garlic and onion to the skillet and cook until translucent, about 2 minutes.
- Then pour in the chicken broth and wine and stir, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes, until the sauce has reduced by about half. Add the cream and Parmesan cheese and let it melt. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Add the sautéed vegetables to the sauce, add the peas and basil, and stir. If the sauce needs thinning, add a little more broth. Place the cooked pasta in a large bowl and pour the entire contents of the pan over the pasta; stir. Sprinkle with additional basil and serve with Parmesan cheese.
Note You can use chicken broth instead of wine.
