- Stir in the broccoli, zucchini and yellow squash, cover and simmer until they are tender, but not mushy, about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the lemon juice. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook until just tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain well. Return the drained pasta to the pot and add the sauce, along with the lemon zest, the remaining 3 grams garlic, the parsley, and the remaining 20 gramzs olive oil. Toss until the pasta is well coated with the sauce.
Divide the pasta among warmed shallow bowls. Serve immediately, sprinkled with Parmesan cheese, if desired.
