Step-by-Step Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil over high heat. Add pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente, around 8-10 minutes. Reserve a cup of pasta water, drain the pasta, and set aside.
- While the pasta cooks, chop your vegetables: dice onion, mince garlic, and chop zucchini, bell pepper, and asparagus into bite-sized pieces. Keep frozen peas on hand.
- In a large skillet, melt butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until translucent and fragrant.
- Stir in zucchini, asparagus, bell pepper, and garlic. Cook for 5-7 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.
- Pour in white wine and chicken broth, lemon juice, and Italian seasoning. Simmer for 3-4 minutes to meld flavors.
- Reduce heat to low and whisk in heavy cream. Add cherry tomatoes and grated Parmesan, stirring until cheese melts and sauce thickens. Season with salt and pepper.
- Add drained pasta to the skillet, tossing gently to coat with the sauce. Use reserved pasta water for desired consistency.
- Serve immediately, garnished with additional Parmesan and fresh basil.
