Creating Tiger-Stripe Farfalle is simple if you follow these steps:
1. Cook Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the farfalle pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. Sauté Vegetables: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
3. Add Peppers and Zucchini: Stir in the diced red and yellow peppers, along with the sliced zucchini. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
4. Mix in Tomatoes and Spices: Add the halved cherry tomatoes, oregano, and basil. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for another 2-3 minutes to combine flavors.
5. Create the Sauce: Pour in the heavy cream and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and creamy.
6. Combine Pasta and Sauce: Add the cooked farfalle to the skillet, tossing to coat the pasta evenly with the sauce and vegetables.
