Steps:
- For the vegetables: Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the carrots and cook for 1 minute. Then add the broccoli; cook for another minute. Add the red peppers; cook 1 minute more. Remove the vegetables from the skillet and set aside.
- To the skillet, add the butter and the remaining 1 tablespoon oil; allow to heat up. Add the mushrooms, zucchini and squash, and cook until starting to soften, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the vegetables from the skillet and add them to the other vegetables. Set aside.
- For the sauce: Add the garlic and onions to the skillet, and cook until starting to turn translucent, about 2 minutes.
- Next, pour in the chicken broth and wine; stir, scraping the bottom of the pan to loosen all the flavorful bits. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, until reduced by about half. Stir in the cream and Parmesan, and allow the cheese to melt. Add salt and black pepper to taste.
- Add the cooked vegetables to the sauce, along with the peas and basil; stir to combine. If the sauce needs a little more liquid, splash in a small amount of broth. Place the cooked pasta in a large serving bowl and pour all the contents of the skillet over the pasta; toss to combine. Sprinkle with extra basil, and serve with extra Parmesan.

Tips:
- Choose the right pasta. Short, sturdy pastas like penne, rotini, and fusilli are ideal for pasta primavera because they can hold the sauce well.
- Cook your pasta al dente. This means that it should be cooked through but still have a slight bite to it.
- Prepare your vegetables in advance. Chop or julienne your vegetables before you start cooking so that they're ready to go when you need them.
- Use fresh, seasonal vegetables. This will give your pasta primavera the best flavor.
- Don't overcrowd the pan. Cook your vegetables in batches if necessary so that they have room to brown.
- Use a flavorful sauce. A simple sauce made with olive oil, garlic, and herbs is all you need to enhance the flavor of the vegetables.
- Add some protein. If you like, you can add some cooked chicken, shrimp, or tofu to your pasta primavera.
- Serve immediately. Pasta primavera is best served hot, so don't let it sit around for too long before you eat it.
Conclusion:
Pasta primavera is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and healthy meal. With its vibrant colors and fresh flavors, it's a dish that everyone will enjoy. So next time you're looking for a simple and satisfying meal, give pasta primavera a try.
