Halve the cherry tomatoes.<\/li>\n<li>In a large, non-stick pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over a medium flame. Add the onion and yellow pepper, saut\u00e9 for 3-4 minutes until slightly softened. Stir in the garlic, courgette, and asparagus, and continue cooking for another 3 minutes.<\/li>\n<li>Pour the hot vegetable stock into the pan. Add the raw pasta, frozen peas, and cherry tomatoes. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until the pasta is al dente and most of the liquid has been absorbed.<\/li>\n<li>Remove the pan from the heat. Stir in the cream cheese and half of the grated Parmesan cheese, mixing vigorously until a creamy sauce forms. If necessary, add a splash of cooking water if the pasta appears too dry.<\/li>\n<li>Taste and adjust for salt and pepper. Serve immediately, garnished with the remaining Parmesan cheese and a drizzle of olive oil.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>Serving &amp; Leftovers<\/h2>\n<p>Serve the creamy primavera pasta immediately to best enjoy its texture and flavours.
