Ingredients:

1 cup

Pea (frozen)

2 cloves

Garlic (minced)

Directions:

1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil

2

Add the pasta and cook as the label directs, adding the broccoli, carrots, bell pepper and peas during the last 3 minutes of cooking

3

Reserve 1 cup cooking water, then drain the pasta and vegetables and return to the pot

4

Meanwhile, make the sauce: Heat 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat

5

Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until it begins to soften, about 1 minute

6

Add the vegetable broth, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste; bring to a simmer and cook until slightly reduced, about 3 minutes

7

Whisk in the remaining 2 tablespoons butter until melted and the sauce is thickened, about 1 more minute

8

Pour the sauce over the pasta and vegetables and add the cheese, parsley and lemon juice

9

Cook over low heat, stirring, until the cheese melts, about 1 minute, adding enough of the reserved pasta water to loosen the sauce

10

Season with salt and pepper and top with more cheese
