Pasta Primavera

Ingredients:

2 TBS olive oil
1 large onion, diced
1 clove garlic, minced or pressed
3 carrots, thinly sliced
1 red pepper, sliced
1/4 head cauliflower cut into small pieces
1/4 head broccoli cut into small pieces
Snow peas, strings removed and cut into thirds
Asparagus (pencil thin), cut into thirds
1/2 cup chicken or vegetable broth
1 cup cream
1-1 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan (or Asiago)

In large skillet, heat oil and sauté onion over low heat until soft but not brown. Add garlic and stir one minute, then add remaining vegetables and cook over medium-high heat just until crisp/tender. Remove vegetables to a bowl, then add the broth and cream to pan and reduce liquid by one-third. Keep sauce simmering and return sauteed vegetables to pan; add pasta and cheese, stirring quickly until appropriate consistency is reached (add additional cheese or liquid if necessary). Pass grated cheese at the table. Serves 4
