Tips:

  • Choose fresh, seasonal vegetables: The fresher the vegetables, the better the flavor of your Capellini Primavera will be. Look for vegetables that are brightly colored and crisp.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This will give your Capellini Primavera a more interesting flavor and texture. Some good options include: asparagus, broccoli, carrots, zucchini, bell peppers, and mushrooms.
  • Cook the vegetables properly: You want the vegetables to be tender but still have a little bit of crunch. Overcooking them will make them mushy.
  • Use a good quality pasta: Capellini Primavera is a simple dish, so it's important to use a good quality pasta. Look for pasta that is made with durum wheat and has a good texture.
  • Don't overcook the pasta: Pasta should be cooked al dente, which means it should be tender but still have a little bit of a bite to it.
  • Use a light sauce: Capellini Primavera is a light dish, so you don't want to use a heavy sauce. A simple sauce made with olive oil, lemon juice, and Parmesan cheese is a good option.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as basil, parsley, or chives, will add a pop of color and flavor to your Capellini Primavera.
