Ingredients

• Fettuccine pasta - 150 grams
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Red bell pepper - 1, sliced
• Zucchini - 1 medium, sliced
• Carrot - 1 medium, julienned
• Broccoli florets - 100 grams
• Cherry tomatoes - 100 grams, halved
• Greek yogurt - 100 grams
• Parmesan cheese - 30 grams, grated
• Fresh basil - 10 grams, chopped
• Salt - to taste
• Black pepper - to taste

Steps

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccine and cook according to the package instructions until al dente, usually about 10-12 minutes.
2. While the pasta is cooking, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
3. Add the sliced red bell pepper, zucchini, carrot, and broccoli florets to the skillet. Stir-fry for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
4. Add the halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
5. Once the pasta is cooked, reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta water, then drain the pasta and add it to the skillet with the vegetables.
6. In a small bowl, mix Greek yogurt with grated Parmesan cheese. Add this mixture to the pasta and vegetables, stirring to combine. If the sauce is too thick, add reserved pasta water a little at a time until desired consistency is reached.
7. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Stir in chopped fresh basil before serving.
