Steps:
- Place pasta in a large, wide-bottomed pot or large, wide, straight-sided pan. Add garlic, salt, black pepper, and 3 1/2 cups hot water. Cover and bring to a boil. Once boiling, uncover and cook, setting a timer for cooking pasta according to package directions and stirring often. When 5 minutes remain on timer, stir in broccoli and green beans. Cover pot and return to a boil. (If pot starts to dry out at any point, add another 1/2 cup water.) When 2 minutes remain on timer, stir in shrimp, tomatoes, peas, and butter. Cover and continue to cook 2 minutes, then uncover and cook, stirring, until pasta is tender, shrimp are cooked through, and water is almost completely evaporated, about 1 minute more.
- Remove from heat. Stir in lemon zest and 3/4 cup Parmesan and toss to coat. Season with more salt and pepper, if needed.
- Divide pasta among plates. Top with basil, additional Parmesan, and red pepper, if using.

Steps:
- Scrape asparagus with a swivel-bladed vegetable scraper, starting about 2 inches from the top of each spear. Cut off any tough bottoms.
- Cut the spears on the bias at half-inch intervals. There should be about two cups. Set aside.
- Trim off the ends of the zucchini and the yellow squash. Cut each lengthwise in quarters. Cut each quarter crosswise into thin slices about 1/4 inch thick. Set aside.
- Peel and devein the shrimp and set aside.
- Bring enough water to the boil to cover the asparagus, zucchini and yellow squash pieces when they are added. Add salt to taste. Add the vegetables and cook 2 minutes.
- Have a saucepan ready and line it with a sieve. Pour the vegetables into the sieve and reserve both the cooking liquid and the vegetables.
- Put the cooking liquid in a saucepan and add enough water for 8 cups. Add salt to taste. Bring to a boil. Add the pasta and let return to a boil. If the pasta is fresh, cook it about 5 minutes; if it is dried, cook about 4 minutes longer or to the desired degree of doneness. Drain the pasta and return it to the saucepan.
- Meanwhile, as the pasta cooks, heat the oil and 3 tablespoons of the butter in a skillet and add the garlic and tomatoes. Bring to a boil, stirring. Add the cooked vegetables and the shrimp. Cook, stirring occasionally, about 1 1/2 minutes. Pour in the cream. Add salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil and cook about 1 minute. Remove from the heat.
- Pour and scrape the vegetable mixture over the pasta. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and the basil. Toss and serve.
