Cook for about 4 minutes, stirring gently so as not to break up the tomatoes more than is essential. Add the basil, stir and set aside. Heat the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet and add the remaining garlic and the vegetable mixture. Cook, stirring gently, just to heat through. Drop the spaghetti into boiling salted water. Cook until al dente. The spaghetti when ready must retain just a slight resilience in the center. Drain well. Melt the butter in a utensil large enough to hold the drained spaghetti and vegetables. Add the chicken broth, 1/2 cup cream, and cheese, stirring constantly. Cook gently on and off the heat until smooth. Add the spaghetti and toss quickly to blend. Add half the vegetables and pour in the liquid from the tomatoes, tossing and stirring over very low heat. Add the remaining vegetables and, if the sauce seems too dry, add about 1/4 cup more cream. The sauce should not be soupy. Add the pine nuts and give the mixture one final tossing. Serve equal portions of the spaghetti bowls. Spoon equal amounts of the tomatoes over each serving. Serve immediately. Four
