Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 3 Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 Medium zucchini, diced
• 1 Red bell pepper, diced
• 1 cup Broccoli florets, chopped into small pieces
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 4 ounces Cream cheese, softened
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a large skillet, heat the unsalted butter and olive oil over medium heat until the butter is melted.

Step 2

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant.

Step 3

Add the diced zucchini, diced red bell pepper, and chopped broccoli florets to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to low and pour in the heavy cream and add the softened cream cheese to the skillet. Stir continuously until the cream cheese is melted and the mixture is smooth.

Step 5

Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, continuing to stir until the cheese is thoroughly incorporated and the sauce is creamy.

Step 6

Season the sauce with salt, ground black pepper, and Italian seasoning. Adjust the seasoning to taste if necessary.

Step 7

Allow the sauce to simmer gently for 2-3 minutes to thicken further. If you prefer a thinner sauce, you can add a little more heavy cream at this stage.

Step 8

Remove from heat and let the sauce cool slightly.

Step 9

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired before serving.
