Instructions

Heat a large pot over medium heat. Once the pot is hot, add butter and swirl to coat the bottom.
Add carrots and onions to the pot; cook, stirring frequently, until slightly softened, 4-5 minutes.
Add the cauliflower, broccoli, and zucchini to the pot; cook, stirring frequently, 3-4 minutes.
Break spaghetti into quarters. Add the spaghetti, peas, broth, and salt to the pot. The broth should just cover the spaghetti and vegetables.
Bring to a boil over high heat; reduce heat to a simmer, and cook, stirring occasionally, until pasta is cooked through and most of the broth is absorbed, 8-10 minutes.
Meanwhile, finely grate the Parmesan.
