Classic Pasta Primavera
Pasta Primavera – an oldie but a goodie! Primavera means springtime in Italian. This pasta dish is traditionally packed with fresh vegetables, lightly dressed in a veggie-flavored sauce. In this penne primavera version I’ve added broccoli, carrots, and peas, but you can pop in whichever vegetables you like and top with some herbs too if you want to. This recipe is not just for spring – why not add some squash or pumpkin in the cooler months?
The smooth and delicate sauce is what makes this dish for me. Vegetable broth, infused with garlic and the flavors of the vegetables you’ve added, reduced and reduced until it gives the pasta a silky coating. For a vegan version, just take out the Parmesan. Buon appetito!
So, how to cook Pasta Primavera?

Lovely lunch with a side of bread and white wine, thanks for sharing.
Vegetarian pasta= best pasta you can make in this day and age! Very healthy and no dead animals.
Another Italian meal that has quickly grabbed my heart tysm.
Chopped up some pieces of mozzarella and tossed it inside this primavera pasta to make it cheesier :)
Greatful for finding this website and its delicious meals! I made the pasta primavera and cheesy garlic bread too.
This and the pasta puttanesca are my two favorites for spagethetti mondays.
Its okay but kinda bland in my opinion.
I hate peas so I swapped them out for corn instead which tasted way better.
Healthy, delicious and simple to make loved every bite of it.
Me and my kids devoured this almost instantly! we did make some white sauce for it though and decided to add a few sundried tomatoes that were soaked in oil :)
Frozen peas were just too overwhelming for this dish so going to avoid them next time.
Used bow pasta instead of penne to make the dish look a bit more appealing for my children haha.
Fantastic meal for any day of the week, very filling and scrumptious.
Thanks!
Thanks!
