Cook Pasta according to package instructions. Set aside.
Sauté Veggies: Add olive oil to a large skillet over medium high heat. Add garlic and stir for 30 seconds. Add veggies, season them with a little salt and pepper, and sauté for about 2-4 minutes, just until slightly tender. You don't want to cook them too long. Remove to a plate.
Sauce: Add butter to pan. Add chicken broth and cream and bring to a simmer. Stir in cheese. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. If the sauce seems too thick, add more chicken broth, cream or water, to your liking.
Combine: Add cooked pasta and veggies to the pan then toss to combine. Top with fresh basil, if desired.
