While Primavera pasta typically features green vegetables, this recipe features yellow ones, resulting in a pasta that's just as spring-like and sunny! Use carrots, yellow tomatoes, yellow bell peppers, and yellow zucchini. The vegetables are cooked in a light creamy sauce with garlic, sherry vinegar, and fresh thyme and tossed with cooked fettuccine pasta. It's bright and juicy. Sprinkle generously with Parmesan cheese and enjoy!

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package directions. Separately, set aside 0.5 cups of water from the pot and discard the remaining water.
- Meanwhile, melt the butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the carrots, bell pepper, zucchini, chili pepper, garlic, thyme, and vinegar; season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and freshly ground black pepper. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are very soft, about 20 minutes.
- Add the heavy cream to the pan and bring to a simmer. Gradually whisk in the Parmesan and cook until melted, about 1 minute. Add the tomatoes. Increase the heat to medium and add the pasta and the reserved cooking water. Cook, stirring until the pasta is completely coated and the ingredients are evenly distributed, about 2 minutes; season with salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle with the Parmesan.
