For a richer flavor, use a high-quality Parmesan Reggiano. Feel free to add a splash of white wine to the vegetables while they're sautéing for added depth. If you don't have gemelli pasta, penne or rotini work well as substitutes. This dish is best served immediately, as the sauce may thicken upon standing.
