  • Reduce heat to medium low. Season with salt and pepper. Add 1/4 cup cream and Parmesan. Stir and simmer until cheese melts and sauce forms, adding more cream if needed to reach desired consistency.
  • Drain pasta, reserving a little of the pasta water*, and add to skillet with vegetables and sauce. Add more cream and cheese if desired. Serve immediately or transfer to a greased casserole dish, cover and refrigerate. Bake refrigerated dish covered at 325 degrees for 30 minutes or until hot. Serves 3-4
