Instructions: How to Make Vegetable Pasta

  • Boil the pasta
    Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the pasta and cook until al dente (firm to the bite). Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water before draining the rest.
  • Sauté the vegetables
    Heat olive oil in a wide pan. Add sliced garlic and chili flakes; sauté until the garlic is golden. Toss in the vegetables (starting with broccoli/carrots and ending with tomatoes) and stir-fry on high heat for 3–4 minutes until tender-crisp.
  • Mix everything
    Add the cooked pasta to the vegetables. Pour in the reserved pasta water and sprinkle oregano and salt. Toss everything together on high heat for 1 minute until the water forms a light glaze. Turn off the heat, stir in basil and parmesan, and serve.
