Notes
You can substitute the vegetables with any seasonal favorites, adjust the time if needed depending on the vegetables used.
You can add in your favorite protein, such as cooked chicken.
You can use any type of pasta you prefer, I enjoy using fresh linguine, but dried linguine works just as well.
