A vibrant and flavorful pasta dish featuring fresh vegetables and a light, savory sauce.
Cook the capellini in boiling water until al dente. Drain and set aside.
To prevent the pasta from sticking, toss it with a little olive oil after draining.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a drizzle of olive oil. Sauté the garlic until fragrant.
Be careful not to burn the garlic, as it can turn bitter.
Add the mushrooms, vegetable broth, and basil to the skillet. Cover and cook for 2 minutes.
Use fresh basil for a more vibrant flavor.
Add the zucchini, bell pepper, and carrot to the skillet. Cover and cook until tender.
Cut the vegetables into similar sizes for even cooking.
Stir in the diced tomatoes and let simmer uncovered for 3 minutes.
Fire-roasted tomatoes add a smoky depth to the dish.
Combine the cooked pasta with the vegetable mixture in the skillet. Toss to coat evenly.
Add a splash of broth if the mixture seems too dry.
Serve the pasta topped with Parmesan cheese and red pepper flakes.
Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
