Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Pasta

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add fresh linguine and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Sautéing Vegetables

  1. 2

    Sauté Garlic and Shallots

    In a large skillet, heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and diced shallots, sautéing for about 2-3 minutes until fragrant and softened.

  2. 3

    Add Remaining Vegetables

    Stir in chopped broccoli, sliced mushrooms, sliced carrots, halved cherry tomatoes, sliced zucchini, and sliced yellow squash. Sauté for an additional 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender yet crisp.

Making the Sauce

  1. 4

    Prepare the Pink Sauce

    Sprinkle in crushed red pepper flakes, then pour in the heavy cream and tomato sauce. Stir well to combine and bring to a gentle simmer. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Allow the sauce to simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Combining and Serving

  1. 5

    Combine Pasta and Sauce

    Add the cooked linguine to the skillet with the pink sauce and vegetables. Toss gently to coat the pasta evenly with the sauce.

  2. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove from heat and garnish with chopped fresh basil and grated Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately.
