Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 ounces pasta
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 zucchini, chopped
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

  • Grated Parmesan cheese, for serving (optional)

  5. Increase heat to high and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer.

Notes

  • Use seasonal vegetables for the best flavor.
  • Add red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.

  • Substitute gluten-free pasta for a gluten-free version.
