Follow these simple steps to create your Fresh & Easy Pasta Primavera:

1. Cook the Pasta: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving a cup of pasta water.

2. Heat Olive Oil: In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Allow it to warm up.

3. Sauté Onions and Garlic: Add the diced onions to the skillet. Sauté for about 3 minutes, then add the minced garlic. Continue cooking for an additional minute until fragrant.

4. Add Vegetables: Toss in the sliced bell pepper, zucchini, yellow squash, and broccoli. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.

5. Incorporate Cherry Tomatoes: Add the halved cherry tomatoes along with the Italian seasoning. Stir well and season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for another 2 minutes until the tomatoes start to soften.

6. Combine Pasta and Vegetables: Add the cooked pasta to the skillet with the vegetables. If the mixture seems dry, add a bit of reserved pasta water to create a light sauce.

7. Finish the Dish: Toss everything together until well combined. Allow it to heat through for a couple of minutes.

8. Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat, and garnish with fresh basil and grated Parmesan cheese, if using. Plate immediately and enjoy!
