# How-To Steps:
01 - Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add sliced garlic and red onion, sautéing for 2 to 3 minutes until fragrant and softened.
02 - Add spaghetti, peas, spinach, and cherry tomatoes to the pot. Pour in vegetable broth and bring to a boil.
03 - Season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir occasionally to prevent pasta from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
04 - Simmer uncovered for 10 to 12 minutes until pasta reaches al dente texture and most liquid has been absorbed. Stir in lemon zest.
05 - Remove from heat and divide among serving plates. Top each portion with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh basil leaves.
