Creamy Pasta Primavera

Melt butter in a large deep skillet or pan over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook a minute or two. Add carrot and broccoli florets. Stir and cook for an additional minute or two. Finally, add red pepper. Stir and cook for an additional minute. Remove to plate.

Add sliced mushrooms to pan. Saute for a minute or two before transferring mushrooms to the plate of cooked vegetables.

For the sauce, pour cream and Cajun seasoning into pan. Bring to a gentle boil. Reduce heat; simmer gently for 4–5 minutes or until mixture thickens. I usually keep it at a simmer until cream can coat the back of a spoon. Remove from heat. Stir in Parmesan cheese and peas.

Add bacon, pasta, and cooked vegetables into sauce. Toss to coat.
