Italian Bow-Ties & Marscapone Cheese

This is one of my daughter's favorite dishes, and it is a great way to hide the veggies!

1/2 box of bow-tie pasta
1/2 cup pasta water reserved
2 cups baby carrots steamed and chopped
1 zucchini steamed and chopped
1/2 cup marscapone cheese
1/2 cup cream cheese
1 clove garlic minced
1/4 onion grated
olive oil
Salt & pepper to taste
Cook pasta according to package directions. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water. Steam carrots and zucchini for 10 to 12 minutes until they reach desired tenderness. In small pan, with enough olive oil to coat the pan, saute onions and garlic 2 to 3 minutes on medium heat and set aside. 
Combine cooked pasta with marscapone and cream cheese. Add in pasta water, onion, garlic, veggies, salt and pepper until well combined. Serve warm.
