# Directions:
01 - Set oven broiler to high heat.
02 - Heat olive oil in a large deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add diced onion, minced garlic, carrots, celery, and potatoes. Sauté for 5 to 7 minutes until vegetables begin to soften.
03 - Stir in broccoli florets, frozen peas, and frozen corn. Cook for an additional 2 minutes.
04 - Push vegetables to the side of the pan. Add butter to the cleared space and allow to melt. Sprinkle flour over the melted butter and whisk for 1 minute to form a roux.
05 - Slowly whisk vegetable broth into the roux, followed by milk and heavy cream. Stir to combine the roux with vegetables and bring to a gentle simmer.
06 - Add pasta, salt, black pepper, dried thyme, dried sage, and nutmeg to the pan. Stir well, cover, and simmer for 12 to 14 minutes, stirring occasionally, until pasta reaches al dente texture and sauce thickens.
07 - While pasta cooks, combine panko breadcrumbs, melted butter, dried parsley, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt in a bowl.
08 - Once pasta is cooked and sauce reaches desired consistency, sprinkle biscuit crumb mixture evenly over the surface.
09 - Place the skillet under the preheated broiler for 2 to 3 minutes, watching closely, until the topping is golden and crisp.
10 - Remove from broiler and serve hot. Garnish with additional fresh parsley if desired.
