Pasta primavera ALWAYS reminds me of spring! I love all the fresh vegetables and the lighter sauce, it just screams warmer weather and sunny days ahead. This pasta primavera recipe is also very easy! And very fast!

Yellow pepper, two tomatoes, an onion, some carrots, some asparagus, and a head of garlic on a marble countertop

The veggies you use are totally up to you, asparagus {check out my tutorial on how to asparagus!} and peas are usually the classic additions to pasta primavera recipes, but I didn’t use peas this time. You can really use whatever you want! For a pound of pasta, it will be about 1/2-3/4 cup of whatever veggie you choose.

Adding asparagus and yellow peppers to the pan of sauteing veggies for pasta primavera.

When adding the different veggies for pasta primavera, add them in the order of how long they need to cook. You can see in the video below that I added the carrots and onions first, cooked them for a while, then added the asparagus and peppers…

Adding garlic and tomatoes to the pan of sauteing veggies for pasta primavera.

…then added the softer veggies that don’t need much time at all like tomatoes and garlic.

Dragging a wooden spoon through the reduced white wine in the veggies for pasta primavera recipe.

Another classic addition to pasta primavera is a bit of white wine to deglaze the pan. If you don’t have any or don’t cook with wine, you can always substitute vegetable or chicken broth for white wine. When it is reduced, it will look like the picture above!

Pouring chicken broth into the veggies for pasta primavera recipe.

Then add the broth and cream, and your sauce is complete! I simmer it for a few minutes to reduce it down, it’s a really light and loose sauce.

Next, toss in your pasta. You can use any pasta you like! I am just super awesome {#sarcasam} at grocery shopping and ended up with approximately 4.7648 billion boxes of spaghetti.

Adding shaved parmesan to the pasta primavera recipe.

And, of course, top it with some parmesan cheese! I like to shave it into pasta primavera so the pieces are little bigger. YUMMY! Aren’t these colors the best???! If you need a delicious bread to go with your Pasta Primavera, check out my Homemade Focaccia bread. It would pair perfectly with this!
