Original GF Paleo Vegetarian

You don't need to douse pasta in cream and cheese for a creamy finish. We use creme fraiche for a lighter finish and pack this pasta with lots of veggies. The final finish of lemon zest and juice brings it all together!

Make

Bring a saucepan of water to boil. Salt generously and add pasta. Cook until al dente, tender but not soggy. Ideally, pasta finishes at the same time that it needs to be added to the saute (step #6).
Heat a saute pan (or a wok - I’ve started to do that recently since there is more room) over medium-high heat. Add butter and cooking oil and then garlic and shallots to melted butter with some salt. Saute for ~1 minute.
Add mushrooms with a sprinkle of salt and saute for another 2 to 3 minutes.
Next add in zucchini and saute for another 3 minutes.
Add peas and warm up for another minute.
Fold in pasta, lemon zest, and creme fraiche. Toss to coat.
Remove from heat and finish with lemon juice and then taste. Season with salt and pepper as needed.
Divide into bowls and garnish with basil.
