Time 45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 carrots, peeled and cut into thin strips
2 medium zucchini or 1 large zucchini, cut into thin strips
2 yellow squash, cut into thin strips
1 onion, thinly sliced
1 yellow bell pepper, cut into thin strips
1 red bell pepper, cut into thin strips
1/4 cup olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon dried Italian herbs or herbes de Provence
1 pound farfalle (bowtie pasta)
15 cherry tomatoes, halved
1/2 cup grated Parmesan

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  • On a large heavy baking sheet, toss all of the vegetables with the oil, salt, pepper, and dried herbs to coat. Transfer half of the vegetable mixture to another heavy large baking sheet and arrange evenly over the baking sheets. Bake until the carrots are tender and the vegetables begin to brown, stirring after the first 10 minutes, about 20 minutes total.
  • Meanwhile, cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente, tender but still firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain, reserving 1 cup of the cooking liquid.
  • Toss the pasta with the vegetable mixtures in a large bowl to combine. Toss with the cherry tomatoes and enough reserved cooking liquid to moisten. Season the pasta with salt and pepper, to taste. Sprinkle with the Parmesan and serve immediately.

PASTA PRIMAVERA VERDE



Pasta Primavera Verde image

Fresh, light and tasty describes this Italian style linguine and fresh veggies dish! You can vary the ingredients according to what's in season. Our favorite is with seasonal fresh asparagus, and the addition of pesto and clams. Very nice with a glass of dry white wine and a crusty loaf of Italian bread or sourdough. Adapted from Julee Rosso's "Fresh Start" cookbook.

2 tablespoons butter
4 ounces white mushrooms, washed and sliced
2 medium zucchini, sliced diagonally
1 medium summer squash, sliced diagonally
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 large onion, diced
1/2 cup chicken broth, plus more as needed
1/4 cup white wine (see Cook's Note)
1/2 cup heavy cream or half-and-half

Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup frozen peas
12 fresh basil leaves, chopped, plus more for serving
1 pound pasta (fettuccini), cooked according to package directions

  • To the skillet, add the butter and the remaining 1 tablespoon oil; allow to heat up. Add the mushrooms, zucchini and squash, and cook until starting to soften, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the vegetables from the skillet and add them to the other vegetables. Set aside.
  • For the sauce: Add the garlic and onions to the skillet, and cook until starting to turn translucent, about 2 minutes.

  • Add the cooked vegetables to the sauce, along with the peas and basil; stir to combine. If the sauce needs a little more liquid, splash in a small amount of broth.

GARDEN VEGETABLE PRIMAVERA



Garden Vegetable Primavera image

Although I enjoy this dish throughout the year, it's even more special when I use my garden to supply the vegetables. A splash of white wine and a sprinkle of fresh basil really add flavor. I have also roasted the vegetables and mixed in chicken breasts with scrumptious results. -Carly Curtin, Ellicott City, Maryland

Provided by shelly brown @msshelly55021

Categories     Vegetables

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 medium onion, quartered and sliced thing
1 small red bell pepper, cut into 1 inch slices
1 medium carrot, julienned
1 bunch(es) thin asparagus, cut into 1 1/2 inches long, discard bottom 1/4
1 1/2 cup(s) zucchini/yellow summer squash (i would use a cup of each cuz i love 'em both!) cut in thin 1 inch strips (or julienned)
6 med. clove(s) garlic, chopped
1 can(s) (15 oz) diced tomatoes with juice
1 tablespoon(s) plus 1/4 cup vegetable broth
1 cup(s) fresh basil, chopped
3 tablespoon(s) fresh sage, minced
1 cup(s) fresh parsley, minced
3 tablespoon(s) fresh oregano, minced
- salt & pepper, to taste
4 ounce(s) whole wheat linguini (i'll just use whatever pasta i have until i decide if i like the recipe!)
4 ounce(s) chevre goat cheese (optional)

Steps:

  • Cook the pasta according to package instructions.
  • While pasta is cooking,chop onion and garlic. Let them sit for 5 minutes before cooking. (It is suppose to bring out "healthier properties." IDK what that means, but the original recipe says that.)
  • Chop rest of vegies.
  • Heat 1 Tbsp. of vegetable broth in a skillet. Over medium heat, saute onion in the broth, stirring frequently for 3 minutes. Add the vegies in the order given above, waiting about 1 minute between each new ingedient.
  • Add tomatoes and broth and simmer for another couple minutes, until vegetables are barely tender, about 10 minutes. If needed, you can add a touch more liquid to keep moist. Add minced herbs. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Drain the pasta when it is done. Toss pasta with vegetable mixture and top with goat cheese if desired.
  • Note exactly sure what the extra vegie broth is for, unless it is the extra liquid in step 5.
  • For myself, I would eat this as it. If serving to family or friends, I would maybe toss some chicken pieces into the pasta water and boil with the pasta, or something...

PASTA PRIMAVERA



Pasta primavera image

Use fresh garden peas in this pasta primavera for a simple, colourful seasonal dish

Provided by Geraldene Holt

Categories     Dinner, Lunch, Main course, Pasta, Supper

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 10

85g unsalted butter
1½ tbsp each chopped parsley , mint and chives
400g shelled garden peas , about 1.25kg/2lbs 12oz in their pods
200g baby carrot , ideally with leaves
200g baby or regular sized courgettes
200g slim green beans
400g tagliatelle
splash of olive oil
finely grated zest and juice of 1 lemon
as much fresh basil as you like

Steps:

  • Gently melt the butter with the parsley, chives and mint and set aside in a warm place. Prepare all the vegetables: shell the peas, wash the carrots and trim away any leaves but leave a short green stalk in place (the stalk is edible but it is also there to show the vegetable is freshly harvested!), thickly slice the courgettes and trim the green beans.
  • Bring 2 large pans of water to the boil (one for the pasta, one for the veg). Lightly salt the water in one of the pans, add the pasta to it and cook until al dente (10-12 minutes or according to the cooking instructions on the packet). While the pasta cooks, add the carrots to the other pan and cook for 2 minutes. Next throw in the peas, green beans and courgettes and continue to cook for 3 minutes. Drain both the pasta and the vegetables well. Return the pasta to the hot pan with a splash of olive oil, half the herb butter and the lemon zest and juice. Return the vegetables to their pan, toss with the rest of the herb butter and season well with salt and pepper.
  • Spoon the pasta on to serving plates, grind some black pepper over and serve with the vegetables on top. Scatter on as much basil as you like and serve straight away.
