Creamy Garden Spaghetti

TOTAL TIME: Prep/Total Time: 30 min. YIELD: 4 servings.
I spent 14 years preparing meals in restaurants, but now I just cook to entertain family and friends. I've always liked the versatility of pasta. This cheesy vegetable noodle dish is one of my grandmother's favorites, so I make it often when we get together. —Karrie Fimbres Sparks, Nevada
