Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook pasta according to package directions until al dente; drain. Microwave mixed vegetables according to package directions.
Heat oil in large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic to the pan and cook until lightly browned, about 4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in cooked vegetables.
Season the onions and garlic with oregano, pepper, salt and crushed red pepper.
Stir in lemon juice and zest and cook until liquid has evaporated, about 2 minutes. Pour in cream; bring to a boil. Cook until the cream is reduced, sauce is thickened and clings to the vegetables, about 5 minutes.
Once the cream begins to thicken, add in the butter and continually stir until the butter melts into the sauce. Stir in cheeses until melted.
Drain pasta and stir into the vegetables and sauce. Remove from heat and garnish with fresh basil, if desired.
Choose any Birds Eye® vegetable blend that you have on hand—California Blend, Normandy Blend, or Broccoli stir fry blends make great substitutes. If you don’t have asiago cheese, use 1/2 cup Parmesan
