What You'll Need

1 (12-ounce) package bow-tie pasta
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 pound asparagus, cut into 1-1/2-inch pieces
1 sweet onion, sliced into half moons
2 carrots, thinly sliced
1 yellow or red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch chunks
3 plum tomatoes, cut into 1-inch chunks

1 3/4 cup reduced-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
1 (1-ounce) package dry ranch dressing mix

What to Do

Cook pasta according to package directions, omitting the salt; drain and keep warm. Meanwhile, in a large skillet over medium heat, heat oil; sauté asparagus, onion, carrots, and bell pepper 2 minutes. Stir in tomatoes and garlic.
In a small bowl, combine broth and dressing mix; pour over vegetables and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer 5 to 7 minutes, or until vegetables are crisp-tender, stirring occasionally.
In a large bowl, combine warm pasta and vegetable mixture; add Parmesan cheese, if desired, and toss until well coated. Serve immediately.
