Preparation:

1. Vegetables: Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the carrots and cook for 1 minute. Then add the broccoli and cook for another minute. Add the bell pepper and cook for another minute. Remove the vegetables from the skillet.
2. Add the butter and the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil to the skillet and heat. Add the mushrooms, zucchini, and squash and cook until the vegetables begin to soften, 2-3 minutes. Transfer the vegetables to the bowl with the previous batch.
3. Sauce: Add the garlic and onion to the skillet and cook until translucent, about 2 minutes.
4. Then pour in the chicken broth and wine and stir, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes, until the sauce has reduced by about half. Add the cream and Parmesan cheese and let it melt. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Add the sautéed vegetables to the sauce, add the peas and basil, and stir. If the sauce needs thinning, add a little more broth. Place the cooked pasta in a large bowl and pour the entire contents of the pan over the pasta; stir. Sprinkle with additional basil and serve with Parmesan cheese.
