Pasta primavera is creamy, yet light celebration of spring! It\u2019s the perfect combination of fresh, green spring produce together with pasta in a delicious parmesan and cr\u00e8me fra\u00eeche sauce. It’s simple and fast to prepare, making it the perfect easy dinner for spring or summer night. It\u2019s ready to serve in only 30 minutes!<\/p>\n

Primavera which means spring, is usually made with lots of spring produce. But, like any easy pasta recipe, it\u2019s also versatile meaning you are free to use your favourite vegetables. In this version, I like to stick to a mix of spring green veggies, but you could also add a pop of colour by adding a sliced red bell pepper, julienned carrots or mini Roma tomatoes.<\/p>\n

\nOrigins of pasta primavera<\/h2>\n

Pasta primavera is an Italian-American recipe, that was originated from New York<\/a> in the 1970s. Primavera means \u2018spring\u2019 in Italian and this pasta recipe is primarily made with in-season spring vegetables that are either lightly saut\u00e9ed or blanched and typically tossed with fettuccine (or other something similar) in a creamy, buttery sauce. There are countless versions of this classic pasta dish, however one thing remains the same \u2014 it\u2019s quick and easy to prepare!<\/p>\n

Easy recipe variations<\/h2>\n

In my version, I like to feature spring vegetables like green asparagus, fresh soft herbs, peas and spring onion. However you can easily tweak this pasta primavera recipe to your own taste. Here\u2019s how:<\/p>\n

Go ahead and trade out the vegetables!<\/h3>\n

This primavera recipe would also be delicious with broccoli florets (or bimi broccolini), fava beans, red bell pepper, cherry tomatoes, yellow squash, zucchini, spinach leaves, cauliflower florets or sliced red onion. However, depending on what type of vegetable you use, you might want to consider blanching them instead of stir-frying them.<\/p>\n

Add protein.<\/h3>\n

This recipe has a decent amount of protein thanks to the peas and cheese. However, if you’d like to add even more try serving this with grilled prawns or roasted salmon. Or try topping with toasted pine nuts!<\/p>\n
