Cooking the Pasta

    Once cooked, drain the pasta in a colander and set aside.

Preparing the Vegetables

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In the same pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Then, add the broccoli, carrot, bell pepper, and zucchini. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.

Making the Sauce

    Pour in the vegetable broth and stir in the nutritional yeast, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and let it cook for about 3 minutes.
