6 Tbsp olive or other oil
3 clove garlic, minched
1 c frozen broccoli florets
1 c asparagus tips, blanched (or frozen)
1 c frozen peas, thawed
8 oz baby bella mushrooms, sliced or quarterd
1 c grape tomatoes, halved
1 lb thin spaghetti, cooked
2/3 c grated parmesan cheese
2 Tbsp thinly chopped basil
1 med. yellow squash or zucchini
4 Tbsp butter
salt and pepper to taste
1 c light cream (or more according to desired consistency)
scant 1/8 tsp nutmeg in the cream.

Steps:

1. Put on water to boil for spaghetti and add a good amount of salt. Get all your vegetables together. Pour oil in skillet or saute pan until hot and add the mushrooms and garlic. Let cook until almost done.
2. Add other vegetables into the pan and let cook until desired doneness. Add more salt at this time if desired.
3. Sprinkle grated parm over all and add butter,letting it melt in pan. Then add cream and stir. Cheese will thicken the sauce. Add more cream or milk to the sauce if needed or to desired thickeness.
4. Keep sauce on low temp until spaghetti is done and mix all together. Serve.
