All of my favorite veggies are here in this dish, and when tossed with penne pasta and a creamy lemon sauce it’s the perfect dish to satisfy a pasta craving.
A creamy lemon sauce (similar to my Pasta al Limone) infuses this dish with creamy, comforting brightness that’s just *chef’s kiss* perfect.
The starch that’s cooked out of the pasta (it’s what makes the water look white/cloudy!) helps the lemon sauce blend to a perfect, creamy finish.
Blended with a cup of reserved pasta water, garlic, a splash of pure maple syrup, and salt and pepper, it creates a creamy, flavorful sauce that turns this into a restaurant-quality dish.
