One Pot Zucchini Mushroom Pasta

I made this to change things up a little and really liked it!  I can't put my finger on what it reminds me of but possibly the sauce in moo goo gai pan.
 
Ingredients
  • 12 oz spaghetti
  • 1 small carton of mushrooms, thinly sliced
  • 2 zucchini, thinly sliced and halved or quartered
  • 2/3 cup peas
  • 2 TB chopped garlic 
  • 2 sprigs thyme or 1 TB dry thyme  
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper an greek seasoning, to taste
  • 1/3 cup grated Parmesan
  • 1/4 cup 2% milk
  • 4 cups of chicken broth or water
Instructions
  • In a large stockpot or Dutch oven over medium high heat, combine spaghetti, mushrooms, zucchini, peas, garlic, thyme and 4 cups broth; season with salt and pepper and greek seasoning, to taste.
  • Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, until pasta is cooked through and liquid has reduced, about 8-10 minutes. Stir in Parmesan and heavy cream.
  • Serve immediately.
Notes:
 
  • I originally poured the milk and cheese in together but the cheese melted in big clumps.  I suggest sprinkling the cheese in as you stir to more evenly distribute it.  And to top your serving with a pinch as well!
  • You could easily add some cooked diced chicken to this recipe as well and make it a meal with meat!  I served chicken breasts on the side!
