Preparation
Boil the pasta
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- Add the pasta; stir gently to separate.
- Boil, 3 to 6 min., until al dente.
Reserving 1 cup cooking water, drain and toss with a drizzle of oil to prevent sticking.- Reserve the pot.

Sauté the vegetables & make the sauce
- In the reserved pot, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high.
- Add the broccoli and S&P. Sauté, 4 to 5 min., until slightly softened.
- Add the zucchini, garlic, peas, spices and S&P. Sauté, 2 to 3 min., until slightly softened.
- Add the demi-glace and ⅔ of the reserved cooking water; bring to a boil.
- Reduce to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, 2 to 3 min., until thickened.
- In the last min., add 2 tbsp butter, the lemon juice and ½ the cheese; stir well.
Combine the pasta
- To the pot, add the pasta and S&P.
- Cook, stirring often, 1 to 2 min., until combined and warmed through.
