CHICKEN PASTA PRIMAVERA FOR WEEKDAYS



Chicken Pasta Primavera for Weekdays image

A quick non-creamy weeknight primavera using cooked chicken. Found in California Sizzles. Notes: A 14.5 ounce can of peeled Roma tomatoes equals 4-5 fresh tomatoes; drain before adding. The whole canned tomatoes tend to be higher quality than those used for cut up varieties, but Progresso, Muir Glen, and Contadina are highly rated brands. If using frozen broccoli (if you don't live in California!), please thaw prior to adding. A one-pound bunch of fresh broccoli will yield 4 cups of florets. Made 6/16/12: used florets from 1 crown of broccoli, Fire-roasted tomatoes (drained), pulled meat from 1/2 rotisserie chicken. This was mild - family friendly. We will make again using Rotel, or serve with red pepper flakes or Mrs. Dash Fiesta Lime seasoning. Used tri-colored garden rotini, but would look better on angel hair. My fresh broccoli only needed 7 minutes before adding chicken. Because I used rotisserie chicken and canned tomatoes, I did not add additional salt.

DAIRY FREE CHICKEN PASTA PRIMAVERA (GLUTEN FREE)



Dairy Free Chicken Pasta Primavera (Gluten Free) image

I created this and it is delicious and dairy free! Pasta primavera is an Italian-American dish that consists of pasta and vegetables. A meat such as chicken, sausage or shrimp is sometimes added, but the focus of primavera is the vegetables themselves. The dish may contain almost any kind of vegetable, but cooks tend to stick to firm, crisp vegetables, such as broccoli, carrots, peas, onions and green bell peppers, with tomatoes. Pasta primavera is usually highlighted by light flavors, aromatic herbs and bright colors ('primavera' meaning the season of spring). Classic pasta primavera is based on a soffritto of garlic, olive oil, and Parmesan cheese, but versions based on a heavier cream or Alfredo sauce are also common. Though recipes for cold pasta primavera may be found, they are best classified as antipasti, or appetizers. Pastas served with this dish are typically smaller shapes, such as penne, farfalle, rigatoni and fusilli. If using longer types of pasta, such as spaghetti or fettuccine, the vegetables are normally sliced in thin strips to match the shape of the noodles.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling.
  • Use fresh, seasonal vegetables: Primavera means "spring" in Italian, so it's best to use fresh, seasonal vegetables in this dish. This will give your pasta the best flavor and texture.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When you're cooking the vegetables, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and becoming mushy.
  • Cook the pasta al dente: Al dente means "to the tooth" in Italian, and it refers to pasta that is cooked until it is just tender but still has a slight bite to it. This is the best way to enjoy pasta primavera.
  • Use a light sauce: Primavera sauce should be light and flavorful, so don't use a heavy cream or cheese sauce. A simple olive oil or butter-based sauce is all you need.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs: Before serving, garnish your pasta primavera with fresh herbs like basil, parsley, or oregano. This will add a pop of color and flavor to the dish.

Conclusion:

Pasta primavera is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make, and it's a great way to use up fresh, seasonal vegetables. With a few simple tips, you can make a pasta primavera that is sure to impress your family and friends.
