Ingredients<\/strong> How to:<\/strong><\/p>\n In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta, stirring occasionally, until just under al dente according to package directions, 6 to 7 minutes. Reserve 1 1\/2 to 2 cups pasta water.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, in a large high-sided skillet over medium-high heat, heat 1\/4 cup oil. Cook zucchini, stirring occasionally, until starting to soften and turn lightly golden but still vibrant green, 3 to 4 minutes; season with 1\/2 teaspoon salt. Add asparagus, season with 1\/2 teaspoon salt, and cook, stirring often, until asparagus is vibrant green and softened, about 4 minutes. Transfer vegetables to a plate.<\/p>\n Reduce heat to medium. Coat skillet with 1 to 2 tablespoons oil, if needed. Add onions and leeks and cook, stirring occasionally, until beginning to wilt and caramelize, about 5 minutes; season with 1 teaspoon salt. Add bell pepper and cook, stirring and reducing heat if onions and leeks start to char, until slightly softened, 3 to 4 minutes more. Add garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant and onions are translucent, about 2 minutes.<\/p>\n Reduce heat to medium-low. Add tomatoes, cream, peas, and reserved 1\/2 cup pasta water. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes are tender and beginning to burst, 2 to 3 minutes. Add spaghetti, reserved zucchini and asparagus, Parmesan, and a splash of pasta water and cook, tossing to combine and adding more pasta water as needed, until sauce is glossy and cheese is melted.<\/p>\n Stir in lemon zest and juice (if using); season with pepper.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Ingredients Kosher salt 12\u00a0oz.\u00a0spaghetti 1\/4\u00a0c.\u00a0(or more) extra-virgin olive oil 1\u00a0large zucchini, sliced into 1\/2″ half-moons 1\u00a0bunch asparagus, trimmed, quartered crosswise 1\/2\u00a0red onion, sliced into … <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2379,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2378","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-food"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tipsforahealthylife.eu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2378","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tipsforahealthylife.eu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tipsforahealthylife.eu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tipsforahealthylife.eu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tipsforahealthylife.eu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2378"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/tipsforahealthylife.eu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2378\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2380,"href":"https:\/\/tipsforahealthylife.eu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2378\/revisions\/2380"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tipsforahealthylife.eu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2379"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tipsforahealthylife.eu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2378"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tipsforahealthylife.eu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2378"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tipsforahealthylife.eu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2378"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
