Time 45m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 bunch fresh basil
3 cups chicken broth, divided
½ cup olive oil
2 cloves garlic
1 pound fettuccine pasta
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large leek, white and light green parts only, chopped
1 bunch green onions, chopped
2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and diced
2 pinches salt
2 zucchinis, diced
1 cup chopped sugar snap peas
½ cup shelled English peas
1 bunch asparagus, stalks diced, tips left whole
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese, or as needed

Steps:

  • Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Hold basil bunch by the stems and dip basil leaves in boiling water until bright green, about 2 seconds. Immediately immerse basil in ice water for several minutes until cold to stop the cooking process. Once the basil is cold, drain well. Remove basil leaves from stems and discard stems.
  • Blend basil leaves, 1 cup chicken broth, 1/2 cup olive oil, and garlic together in a blender until smooth.
  • Stir fettuccine into the same pot of boiling water, bring back to a boil, and cook pasta over medium heat until cooked through but still firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain.
  • Heat remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir leek and green onion in hot oil until softened, about 5 minutes. Add jalapeno and salt; cook and stir until jalapeno is soft, about 5 minutes.
  • Increase heat to medium-high. Stir 2 cups chicken broth, zucchini, sugar snap peas, and English peas into jalapeno mixture; bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes. Add asparagus and continue cooking until asparagus is soft, about 3 minutes more.
  • Pour 1/4 cup basil-garlic mixture into zucchini mixture and cook and stir until heated through, about 1 minute. Remove from heat.
  • Place pasta in a large bowl; pour zucchini mixture over pasta and pour remaining basil-garlic mixture over the zucchini mixture. Spread Parmesan cheese over the top. Toss mixture briefly to combine and tightly wrap bowl with aluminum foil. Let stand until pasta and vegetables soak up most of the juices and oil, about 5 minutes. Toss again.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pasta: Look for high-fiber pasta made with whole grains, legumes, or vegetables. These pastas are lower in carbohydrates and higher in protein and fiber.
  • Load up on vegetables: Primavera means "spring" in Italian, and this dish is traditionally made with fresh, seasonal vegetables. Use a variety of colorful vegetables, such as broccoli, carrots, asparagus, zucchini, and bell peppers.
  • Use a flavorful sauce: The sauce is what brings the primavera dish together. Use a light, flavorful sauce made with olive oil, garlic, herbs, and a splash of lemon juice.
  • Add some protein: Primavera is a vegetarian dish, but you can add some protein if you like. Grilled chicken, shrimp, or tofu are all good options.
  • Serve immediately: Primavera is best served immediately after it is made. The vegetables will start to lose their鮮豔 if they sit for too long.

Conclusion:

Pasta primavera is a delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for a light meal or a side dish. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its bright colors and fresh flavors, pasta primavera is a surefire crowd-pleaser.
