Pasta Primavera

In a large pot of water add 1 tbs. salt and bring to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain but do not rinse.

Smash garlic and add pinch salt to release oils. Finely dice the shallot.

Spiralize zucchini & carrot using the thin blade to create strands of vegetables similar in size to the pasta.

In large skillet, over low heat, sauté garlic and shallot in olive oil about 2 minutes. Increase heat to medium, add carrot on top of onion and garlic, mix and cook for 2 minutes, add zucchini, mix and cook for 1 minute. Add red pepper if desired.

Add pasta to the vegetable mixture, add butter and stir. Add pasta water to create a sauce. Cook 1-2 minutes to allow sauce to absorb into the mixture. Add more pasta water for more sauce as desired.

Serve Pasta Primavera and finish with cheese. Garnish with chopped basil and parsley.
