Ingredients




2 cups Mushrooms (8- 9 medium Button Mushrooms)
Linguine Pasta (Wheat)
1 small White Onion
1 Medium Broccoli cut into bite-size pieces
5 Asparagus
5 large Cloves of Garlic (I love Garlic but you can reduce the quantity if you are
1 cup Corn
1/2 cup Parmesan
1/2 Juice of Lemon
1 teaspoon Lemon zest
Basil to garnish
Olive Oil
Salt to taste

Preparation

1 Cook the Pasta in water with Olive oil and  lots of salt; this way the Pasta is seasoned well. 2 Cook the Pasta Al Dente as it cooks further in the sauce. Drain the Pasta and keep it aside. 3 Do not throw away the salty pasta water; that's is the magic ingredient in this dish. 4 In a pan heat some Olive oil and add Garlic and Onions to it; saute till the Onions turn translucent. 5 Don't turn the Onions brown. They should be caramelized. 6 Add all the veggies and toss them. 7 Squeeze juice of  1/2 Lemon into the the veggies and toss them again. 8 Add a cup of the  remaining pasta water. 9 Add the pasta and toss the mixture on medium flame. 10 Cook till the pasta water is incorporated in the pasta and veggies. 11 Add Lemon zest. 12 Garnish with Parmesan and Fresh Basil.
