Preparation

In large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta for about 7 min or until almost tender. Add vegetables to the pasta; cook for 5 min or until pasta is tender and vegetables are hot. Drain in a colander and return to pot.

Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, whisk flour with basil; gradually whisk in broth and cream. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, whisking constantly. Reduce heat and boil gently, whisking, for about 2 min or until slightly thickened. Remove from heat and stir in all but 2 tbsp (30 mL) of the Parmesan.

Pour sauce over pasta and vegetables and toss gently to coat. Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve sprinkled with remaining Parmesan cheese.
