- 200 g penne or spaghetti your call, pasta goddess
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1 cup zucchini sliced
- ½ red bell pepper julienned

Boil pasta in salted water until al dente. Drain, rinse with sass, and set aside like a queen awaiting sauce.
Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté for 1 minute until the aroma slaps you gently.
Toss in broccoli, zucchini, squash, and bell pepper. Cook 5–7 minutes until tender but still holding their veggie dignity.
Add tomatoes, oregano, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Sauté for 2 more minutes until juicy and shimmering with potential.
Combine pasta and sautéed veggies. Mix thoroughly like you mean it. Top with nutritional yeast and basil.
Serve hot, post a humblebrag pic on Instagram, and enjoy like the well-fed goddess you are.
