Step 1

In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Cook your pasta according to the package directions. Once cooked, reserve 1/4 cup of pasta water, then drain pasta and place it back into the pot.

Step 2

While pasta is cooking, heat oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add vegetables and saute for 3-4 minutes until slightly softened. Turn heat to low and stir in garlic and Italian seasoning.

Step 3

Add cooked pasta over vegetables. Toss everything with pesto, parmesan cheese, and lemon juice. If you prefer a thinner sauce, add the reserved pasta water and toss once again.

Step 4

Serve pasta with more parmesan cheese on top, if desired.
