Can the DCB cookbook's Pasta Primavera be adapted to cook in a regular pot?

[Jillmami]

I have a guest who LOVES the pasta primavera from our new DCB cookbook. Has anyone adapted this to cook in a regular pot? Would it make sense to prepare this similarly to the Creamy One Pot Pasta dish?

I thought there was a skillet version at the bottom of the recipe??

Yes, it is possible to adapt the pasta primavera recipe from the DCB cookbook to cook in a regular pot. Here is a possible adaptation:Ingredients:- 1 pound of spaghetti or fettuccine noodles- 2 tablespoons of olive oil- 1 onion, diced- 2 cloves of garlic, minced- 1 red bell pepper, diced- 1 yellow bell pepper, diced- 1 zucchini, diced- 1 cup of broccoli florets- 1 cup of cherry tomatoes, halved- 1 cup of vegetable broth- 1 cup of heavy cream- 1/2 cup of grated parmesan cheese- Salt and pepper to tasteInstructions:1. Cook the pasta according to package instructions in a large pot of salted boiling water. Drain and set aside.2. In the same pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic and cook until softened, about 2-3 minutes.3. Add the diced bell peppers, zucchini, and broccoli to the pot. Cook for about 5 minutes, until the vegetables are slightly softened.4. Add the halved cherry tomatoes to the pot and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.5. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a simmer. Let it cook for about 5 minutes, until the vegetables are cooked through.6. Stir in the heavy cream and parmesan cheese. Let it cook for another 2-3 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the sauce is thickened.7. Add the cooked pasta to the pot and toss to coat it in the creamy vegetable sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste.8. Serve the pasta primavera hot, garnished with additional parmesan cheese if desired. Enjoy!
