Creamy garlic and fresh veg pasta for a cozy evening

Creamy garlic and fresh veg pasta for a cozy evening, count me in! ✨

Ingredients:
350g dried fusili
350ml lactose-free cream (I used Arla lactose free)
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, freshly shredded
1 clove garlic, chopped finely
70g butter (option to use olive oil if making dairy-free)
Mix of handfuls of asparagus, carrots (cut into matchsticks) and fresh cherry tomatoes!

In one pot, on a low heat, pop your chopped garlic, cream and butter (if using butter), slowly adding the parmesan a little at a time to melt in and then leave to simmer until thickened to be alfredo-like. In another pot, cook your pasta as directed on packet. Once pasta and sauce are ready, combine altogether in one bowl and serve with cracked pepper on top. For the veg, bake the matchstick carrots at 180c fan for about 10 minutes and then add the asparagus onto the tray and bake for another 12-15 mins and just time it so it’s ready the same time as the pasta/sauce. Mix altogether with the fresh tomatoes and serve while pasta is hot!

I don’t know what it going on but I’ve been feeling so much love for pasta lately. Even more than usual, a bowl with butter, or creamy or even just plain, or stuffed - I seriously cannot seem to get enough. Anyone with me?
