Directions

Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil.

Add pasta and cook until desired consistency, 10 to 12 minutes.

Drain, and return to pot with lid on. Set aside.

Meanwhile heat olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium high heat until hot.

Add garlic, and cook for about 1 minutes, stirring constantly.

Stir in bell pepper and carrots, and cook for about 4 minutes until tender but still crispy.

Add broccoli and cook for another 3 minutes or so.

Remove from heat and transfer cooked veggies and olives into warm pasta that's kept in the pot.

In a small bowl, whisk together extra-virgin olive oil, lemon juice, salt and black pepper to taste.

Pour dressing over veggies and pasta, gently toss until well combined.

Stir in parsley if desired.

Divide among the serving plates, sprinkle with parmesan.

Serve warm.

What about the onion?

A lot of recipes seem to omit one or more ingredients from the instructions. I just added them first, after the oil.
