Directions

Step 1

Bring 4 cups of water to a boil in a medium pot.

Step 2

Add the ramen noodles and cook according to package instructions, typically 2-3 minutes. Drain and set aside. Do not use the seasoning packet.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the cherry tomatoes, zucchini, bell peppers, and broccoli. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.

Step 6

Stir in the frozen peas and cook for another 2 minutes until heated through.

Step 7

Pour in the heavy cream and stir to combine. Bring to a gentle simmer.

Step 8

Gradually add the grated Parmesan cheese while stirring until melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy.

Step 9

Season the sauce with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes, if using.

Step 10

Add the cooked ramen noodles to the skillet and toss to coat in the creamy vegetable sauce.

Step 11

Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the noodles to absorb the flavors.
