Preparation

Step 1

Cook the pasta as per the package instructions.
Meanwhile, heat the oil in a pan and sauté the onions and garlic for about 5 mins.
Add the zucchini, peppers and tomatoes and cook for a couple more mins.
Add the vegetable stock, bring to a boil, then stir in the cream cheese, tomato paste and mixed herbs and simmer for about 5 mins.
Add the cornstarch slurry and cook for another 2 mins until sauce has thickened. Serve with the drained pasta and garnish with thyme leaves.

Note:
I did not use the vegetable stock, I used a large can of diced tomatoes with the juice. I used about 1/3 of an 8oz block of cream cheese. The sauce thickened perfectly without using cornstarch.
Any veggies can be used, I used asparagus instead of zucchini.
