Method

Preparing the Pasta

  1. 1

    Cook the Ziti

    In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add a pinch of salt and the ziti pasta. Cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

    Heat the Pan

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat until the butter melts.

    Add Garlic

    Add the minced garlic to the pan and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

    Add the sliced bell peppers, carrots, and zucchini to the skillet. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they begin to soften.
