Preparation

Step 1

Put on a large pot of water and boil the pasta while you prepare the vegetables. Heat olive oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium heat. Saute the garlic and onions for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the kohlrabi, carrot, bell pepper, thyme leaves, salt, and black pepper. Continue cooking, stirring often, until all vegetables are just barely tender-crisp. If vegetables begin to stick add several tablespoons of water to the skillet. Drain the cooked pasta and place hot pasta in a large, shallow bowl. Heap cooked vegetables on top of pasta. Sprinkle with Parmesan or Asiago and garnish with sprigs of fresh thyme.
