  • 1 bunch broccolini, chopped
  • 2 cups mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 yellow squash, sliced
  • 1/2 cup frozen peas

Instructions

  1. Bring a large salted pot of water to a boil and cook the pasta to al dente. 
  2. In a small skillet, heat the basil olive oil over medium heat.  Add the breadcrumbs and toss well to coat with the oil. Cook for about 5 minutes until golden. Take off the heat and set aside.
  3. While the pasta cooks make the sauce. Heat garlic olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat.  Add the broccolini, mushrooms, salt, pepper and red pepper flakes. Cook for about 5 minutes until the vegetables start to get tender.  Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  4. Add the cream and parmesan to skillet and whisk well to combine.  Simmer for 5 minutes until slightly thickened. 
  5. When the pasta is cooked, add the pasta and a splash of pasta water to the skillet and toss with the sauce. Add the cooked veggies, tomatoes and peas. Cook for another 2 min until the tomatoes are tender.
