Sauté the veggies
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic, zucchini, broccoli, and bell pepper. Cook for 5–7 minutes until tender-crisp. -
Make the sauce
Lower heat and stir in almond milk, Greek yogurt, and Parmesan. Season with salt and pepper. Simmer gently, stirring often, until the sauce is warm and creamy (about 2–3 minutes). Don’t let it boil! -
Add the pasta
Stir in cooked pasta and toss to coat in the creamy sauce. Cook for 1–2 more minutes to heat everything through. -
Finish & serve
Garnish with fresh herbs and more Parmesan if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!

Make it gluten-free: Use your favorite GF pasta or spiralized zucchini noodles.
-
Need more protein? Add grilled chicken, shrimp, or white beans.

No yogurt? Use coconut cream, cashew cream, or blended cottage cheese.
