Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons DeLallo Soffritto Sautéed Vegetable Cooking Base
- 1 small bunch asparagus (look for thin stems) ends trimmed & cut into smaller pieces
- 1/2 cup frozen peas
- 1/2 bell pepper sliced/chopped
- 1 cup diced zucchini
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 roma tomato chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 3/4 cup heavy/whipping cream
- 1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
- 8 leaves fresh basil sliced thin
- 1 (8.8 ounce) package Delallo Pappardelle Egg Pasta
- Salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
- Boil a large, salted pot of water for the pappardelle and it cook al dente according to package directions.
- Prep your sauce ingredients.
- Add the soffritto base (make sure to get some of the oil as well as the vegetables) to a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the asparagus, peas, bell pepper, zucchini, and garlic to the skillet and sauté, stirring often, for 5 minutes or until the vegetables are tender-crisp. Remove the vegetables from the skillet (I just add them to a bowl).
- Add the chopped tomato, lemon juice, Italian seasoning, and cream to the skillet. Let it bubble for about 3 minutes or until it's somewhat thickened.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low. Stir the parmesan cheese and basil into the sauce and then add the vegetables back to the skillet. Let them warm through. Season with salt & pepper as needed. Drain the pappardelle and toss it with the sauce. Serve immediately with extra parmesan cheese if desired.
