One dish pasta dinner

This  is a fast & satisfying meal on a cold winter day !
you will need...
gluten free pasta of your choice or low carb noodles, such as miracle noodles or serve over steamed cauliflower or long slices of boiled cabbage or zoodles ( spiralized zucchini ) 
You will need some grated Parmesan cheese, some minced garlic,
chopped veggies of your choice ( we like broccoli & bell peppers but have also tried onion, kale etc )
chopped meat of your choice ( in above photo we used gluten free smokies but left over turkey or chicken works very well too )

in a heavy sauce pan pour the amount of whipping cream that you think you will need for the sauce. throw in veggies, meat, garlic & spices to taste ( italian is nice, as is pesto ) then add at least 1/2 cup of parmesan for every cup of cream - this is what thickens it so don't omit. In fact the more, the better. slowly cook on medium low, stirring almost constantly to avoid sticking to the bottom. when sauce is thickening & veggies are tender crisp boil your pasta.
drain & rinse pasta & pour the sauce over it & mix well for a one ( okay, technically two, pot meal )
